On Thursday, 25 June 2026, in Brazzaville, a delegation from the National Assembly’s Commission on Economy, Finance and Budgetary Control, led by its President Maurice Mavoungou, carried out an official visit to the Certification Platform of Financial Transfers (PCTF) and the under‑construction headquarters of the Agency for the Regulation of Financial Transfers (ARTF). The visit aimed to assess the operational capacity of the newly established regulatory body, review the implementation of the legal framework that created the ARTF under Law No. 7‑2012 of 4 April 2012, and explore opportunities for strengthening cooperation between parliamentary oversight and the agency’s mandate to supervise and certify cross‑border fund transfers. Delegates examined the technological infrastructure of the platform, discussed best practices for monitoring illicit financial movements, and highlighted the importance of transparency for attracting foreign investment. The trip also provided a forum for dialogue on legislative enhancements that could empower the ARTF to enforce compliance more effectively, reinforcing the Republic of Congo’s commitment to combating money laundering and fostering fiscal accountability. Participants emphasized that such inter‑institutional engagements are vital for aligning national financial governance with international standards, thereby contributing to greater economic stability and investor confidence.
