ADEN-SABA
Finance Minister Salem bin Breik affirmed the government's serious intent to enforce the laws in place for fighting money laundering and terror financing.

In an address at a workshop organized by the national Financial Intelligence Unit for raising awareness on fighting money laundering and terror finance in Aden today, the minister said the organization of the workshop is a sign of this intent.

Representatives from the Finance Ministry, the Central Bank of Yemen and other competent governmental bodies are attending the two-day workshop.

He said the Houthi coup in September 2014 led to the halt of interfacing between international and national Yemeni banks and caused several other problems that entail upon the government to revitalize its supervisory bodies and upgrade the capabilities of fighting money laundering and terror financing.
