The Financial Market Council (CMF) of Côte d’Ivoire announced on Friday, October 16, 2026, the release of a compliance guide for stock brokers and portfolio management companies operating on behalf of third parties. This initiative aims to strengthen preventative measures against money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing within Côte d’Ivoire’s financial sector. The guide is designed to increase the vigilance requirements for financial intermediaries. It reflects the CMF’s commitment to combating financial crime and ensuring the integrity of the Côte d’Ivoire market. The announcement signals a proactive approach to aligning with international standards and best practices. Further details were initially published on Business News. This increased scrutiny will likely impact how financial institutions conduct due diligence and monitor transactions in Côte d’Ivoire.
