Instruction No. 01 07 2025 RFE on the Execution of Foreign Transactions with Non-Residents
The UEMOA regulatory authority issued Instruction No. 01 07 2025 RFE to mandate strict compliance with anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and weapons proliferation regulations for all foreign transactions involving non-residents. Approved intermediaries and postal administrations must implement detection mechanisms to identify transaction splitting, while this directive simultaneously repeals prior rules under the July 13, 2011 framework. The updated requirements take effect on August 1, 2025, following official publication in Dakar.
