Dominican Republic's Superintendence of Banks published an update on the completion of a World Bank technical assistance programme aimed at strengthening its supervisory framework for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, including the use of risk-based supervision and early-warning mechanisms. The programme started in March with several virtual sessions and concluded with an in-person visit to the supervisor’s headquarters from 9 to 11 September. It covered local regulation, the AML/CFT supervisory methodology and tools developed to support implementation, and included exchanges with national authorities and private-sector representatives from the banking, foreign exchange and trust sectors, including the Financial Analysis Unit in its coordinating role for the national AML/CFT and weapons-of-mass-destruction proliferation framework.
