A plenary session of the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing is taking place in Moscow. Russia currently chairs this authoritative association of states. During the opening, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko and Director of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring) Yuri Chikhanchin addressed the participants.
Dmitry Chernyshenko read out the greeting from the Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin to the delegates of the plenary session: “Today, integration in the Eurasian space is strengthening, which contributes to the multifaceted development and progressive economic growth of the countries of the region. The introduction of high technologies helps to automate many processes and reduce costs. At the same time, against the backdrop of rapid digitalization, new challenges arise associated with the emergence of sophisticated forms of terrorist financing, including through the use of crypto assets for illegal purposes. The success of the fight against money laundering directly depends on the clear coordination of the actions of the agencies responsible for financial security. In this regard, it is impossible to overestimate the importance of the activities carried out by the Eurasian Group.”
The Prime Minister’s greeting stated that over 20 years an effective model of interstate partnership has been built, allowing for transparency of financial flows, timely identification and minimization of risks, and prompt response to them. It is important that the group has created conditions for substantive dialogue on a full range of issues related to the protection of national and international financial systems.
Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked Yuri Chikhanchin and Rosfinmonitoring for the effective organization of the plenary week. He emphasized that the Russian Government pays special attention to issues of financial security, combating money laundering and terrorist financing. It is important to maintain constant cooperation and exchange of experience between the countries participating in the Eurasian Group.
“Special attention must be paid to improving the qualifications of specialists working in the field of financial intelligence and analysis. Constantly updating knowledge and competencies will allow us to identify suspicious transactions more quickly and accurately and prevent potential crimes. Educating the general public, which can significantly reduce the vulnerability of individuals and companies to fraud and manipulation, also plays a key role. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the successful implementation of the set goals is possible only with the active interaction of all stakeholders, consolidation of efforts and openness to innovation. We are convinced that the work being done will create a solid foundation for the further sustainable development of our economies and provide reliable protection against new threats,” the Deputy Prime Minister added.
The Deputy Prime Minister reported that more than 450 delegates, representatives of 19 countries and 20 international organizations, gathered in person at the plenary session. This speaks to the relevance and importance of the topic.
“It is symbolic that the event is taking place in Moscow. Russia pays special attention to issues of financial security, combating money laundering and terrorism financing, especially in terms of working with young people. In our country, for the fifth time, the International Financial Security Olympiad will be held on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin. This year, for the first time, it will be held in the very center of Russia – Krasnoyarsk Krai,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
More than 3.2 million Russian schoolchildren and 500 thousand foreign schoolchildren from 15 countries took part in the first stage of the Olympiad – a lesson on financial security.
