EAG Secretariat participates in the Intersessional Meeting of the Egmont Group

The 24th annual Egmont Working and Regional Groups Meetings hosted by the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit of Malta took place from January 29 – February 2, 2024, in St. Julian’s, Malta. This event was attended by 423 delegates and 17 observer organisations.

Following the meeting of the FIU Heads, new members were admitted to the Egmont Group: the financial intelligence units of Guyana, Kenya, Oman and Timor-Leste. The Egmont Group now has 174 members.

Among the highlights, the Policies and Procedures Working Group (PPWG) reviewed operational policies and strategic issues, including the organisation’s approach towards support and compliance matters as well as the important issue of FIU operational independence and autonomy. In addition, the group worked towards developing templates for multilateral information exchanges Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) among FIUs and guidelines for MoUs between FIUs and Law Enforcement Agencies.

The Egmont Group Plenary Meeting is scheduled for June 2-7 in Paris.
