Fighting corruption in the financial sector: A Moroccan Hope

Held in partnership with the National Instance of Probity, Prevention and Fight against Corruption (INPPLC), this meeting was devoted to the examination of the assessment of the implementation of the aforementioned Convention for the year 2021, and to the approval of the roadmap for the year 2022.

According to the press release issued on this occasion by the Central Bank, the year 2021 was marked by the realization of several actions aimed at supporting the sectoral dynamics in the field of prevention and fight against corruption.

Thus, continues the same source, the large-scale awareness campaign, begun in 2020, was continued in 2021 for the benefit of more than 160 executives and managers, representing nearly 120 actors in the financial sector (payment institutions, capital market participants, insurance and reinsurance companies, and social welfare organizations).

It culminated in the drafting of a guide for all players in the sector to help them better understand the concepts and methods related to anti-corruption measures. At the same time, the finalisation of a mapping of corruption risks in the banking sector should allow for an adapted definition of the associated control actions. The communiqué also notes that the roadmap for 2022 aims to strengthen awareness-raising and specialised training, develop opportunities to share expertise with national and international players, support the implementation of anti-corruption measures in line with the ISO 37001 standard and draw up guidelines to govern them.

The four authorities thus renew their commitment to consolidate and strengthen sectoral cooperation in the prevention and fight against corruption, in the wake of the national strategy in this area, the communiqué states.
