(MENAFN) UAE’s central bank’s executive director and head of the anti-money laundering unit, Abdulrahim Mohamed al Awadi, stated that during the January-May period, the country posted a 25-percent jump in the number of suspicious banking deals to 1221, up from 978 suspicious deals in 2011’s same period, reported Arabian Business.
Al Awadi said that the increase in reporting such transactions comes as authorities in the UAE boosted anti-money laundering efforts, through raising awareness and understanding amongst financial companies about money laundering.
He added that the government has boosted collaboration with firms and the international community to facilitate the exchange of data associated with money laundering and terrorist financing, especially after the September 11 attacks.
It is worth noting that the number of suspicious deals reported in 2011 reached 2567, down from 2781 a year earlier.
