H.E concluded with thanking the EU Global Facility\, the French Embassy\, the experts and the countries representatives for their presence in this conference and expressed his best wishes to all. \nSpeaking at the opening ceremony\, Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison\, French Ambassador to Jordan\, underlined the need to put in place an adequate legal framework to identify criminal assets\, including virtual assets\, as early as possible in the investigation in order to maximise the possibilities of effecting a seizure. He also referred to the decisive action of the French Asset Recovery Agency (AGRASC) “whose recoveries have doubled between 2020 and 2021 to reach 480 million euros. It is important that this activity benefits the public community”. \nThe event\, which will witness the intervention of more than 20 experts from the Americas\, Europe and the Arab world\, seeks to tackle the causes and existence of AMLCFT risks\, and promote cooperation and compliance with the global standards and cooperation in the field of Vas. Ultimately\, it seeks to guide respective countries\, their competent authorities\, and the private sector\, on shaping the strategic direction of dealing with VAs\, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)\, and understanding requirements of this direction\, i.e. banning or regulating VAs. \n“This event is a recognition of the crucial importance of exchanging and sharing best practices between countries from the same region\, especially on such an innovative and new topic\,” said EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte\, thanking all participants for their active participation and interest in the topic. \n💡 VAs represent an attractive economic opportunity for jurisdictions\, but bring along a number of challenges and risks that must be understood and managed for their safe integration within a country’s economy. Amongst other things\, are financial crime risks (for example the abuse of VAs to evade sanctions\, launder money or finance terrorism)\, as well as the potential impact on the wider ecosystem. For instance\, banks might need to put in place increased/tailored monitoring to bank these operators\, and regulators might need to adapt their regulatory and supervisory approaches to target the specific risks brought about by VA operators\, whilst guaranteeing a rapid regulatory process and a smooth supervision experience (to maintain a competitive edge against other jurisdictions).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”
