Paris: Morocco took part on Tuesday in the 5th edition of the “No Money for Terror” ministerial conference organized as part of the French presidency of the G7. This edition marks a key moment in the Finance track of the French G7 presidency, which has made the fight against financial crime one of its priorities, the organizers underlined.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the Moroccan delegation at this conference was led by Minister of Economy and Finance Nadia Fettah. On the sidelines of the conference, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Director General of the French financial intelligence agency “Tracfin,” Antoine Magnant, and the President of the National Financial Intelligence Authority (ANRF), Jawhar Nfissi, in the presence of Fettah and her French counterpart Roland Lescure.

The signing of this MoU forms part of the Kingdom’s efforts to strengthen international cooperation in combating financial crime. It also reflects Morocco’s constant commitment to aligning its national framework with international standards, as well as strengthening international coordination and cooperation in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.

The 5th edition of the “No Money for Terror” ministerial conference was closed by French President Emmanuel Macron, who stressed in his speech the need for countries engaged in this process to continue mobilization and cooperation in order to counter internationally structured and financed terrorist organizations. In this regard, Macron welcomed the signing, on the occasion of this conference, of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Tracfin and the ANRF, which, he stressed, constitutes the clearest illustration that this work is continuing.

The French President also warned against the risks of financial innovations being diverted for terrorist financing purposes, particularly crypto-assets, as well as the links between organized crime and the financing of terrorist organizations, in addition to the challenges related to stabilization and the economic reintegration of territories facing terrorist influence.

The conference brought together at Bercy more than 80 international delegations engaged in combating the financing of terrorism. It follows the initiative launched by the French President in Paris in 2018, then continued in Melbourne in 2019, New Delhi in 2022, and Munich in 2025.
