The cooperation between the National Bank and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) is being established more closely with the signed memorandum, which will contribute to the strengthening of activities to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, the NBRM announced on Friday.
It was agreed to provide financial support for the permanent access of the authorized supervisors of the NBRM to the international database, which contributes to the fulfillment of the legal competences of the central bank for licensing and supervision.
According to Governor Anita Angelovska-Bezhoska, the supervisory powers require the application of certain measures and actions on banks, savings banks, exchange offices and service providers for quick money transfer, as well as other financial institutions that provide payment services to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
