This assessment of the anti-money
laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism
(CFT) regime of the Arab Republic of Egypt (Egypt) is based
on the Forty Recommendations 2003 and the Nine Special
Recommendations on Terrorist Financing 2001 of the Financial
Action Task Force (FATF), andwas prepared using
the AML/CFT assessment Methodology 2004, as updated in
February 2008. The assessment team considered all the
materials supplied by the authorities, the information
obtained on site during their mission from 12 to 26 October
2008, and other verifiable information subsequently provided
by the authorities. During the mission, the assessment team
met with officials and representatives of all relevant
government agencies and the private sector. A list of the
bodies met is set out in Annex 1 to the detailed assessment
report. The assessment was conducted by a team of assessors
composed of staff of the World Bank and two experts acting
under the supervision of the World Bank. The evaluation team
consisted of: Latifah Merican Cheong (Team leader); Cedric
Mousset (co-team leader and financial expert), Stuart Yikona
(legal expert); and Isaku Endo (financial expert), all from
the Financial Market Integrity unit (FPDFI) and Horst
Intscher (FIU expert, Consultant) and Younus Almoalem, (Law
enforcement expert, Consultant). The assessors reviewed the
institutional framework, the relevant AML/CFT laws,
regulations, guidelines and other requirements, and the
regulatory and other systems in place to deter and punish
money laundering (ML) and the financing of terrorism (FT)
through financial institutions and Designated Non-Financial
Businesses and Professions (DNFBP). The assessors also
examined the capacity, implementation, and effectiveness of
all these systems. This report provides a summary of the
AML/CFT measures in place in Egypt at the time of the
mission or shortly thereafter. It describes and analyzes
those measures, sets out Egypt s levels of compliance
withthe FATF 40+9 Recommendations (see Table 1)
and provides recommendations on how certain aspects of the
system could be strengthened (see Table 2). The report was
