The Cayman Islands’ status, as a jurisdiction under increased monitoring by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in relation to our anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime, will be updated on Friday, 21 October, following the conclusion of the FATF Plenary in Paris.

Minister of Financial Services and Commerce, the Hon. Andr? Ebanks; and the Director of the Anti-Money Laundering Unit, Francis Arana, are attending the plenary.

Before the update is announced, they will take the opportunity to address and engage with the plenary’s delegates, in support of the Cayman Islands’ progress and improved abilities in fighting financial crime.

According to an FATF release, the 20-21 October plenary will be attended by 206 delegates in the FATF global network and observer organisations, including the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the World Bank, INTERPOL and the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units.

In March 2019 the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), which supports the FATF’s work in the Caribbean region, reported that the Cayman Islands had completed 60 of 63 actions that it recommended in regards to improving our AML/CFT regime. In February 2021, the FATF listed the Cayman Islands to complete the remaining three recommended actions.

One recommended action, regarding effective sanctions by CIMA, was satisfied in June 2021. Minister Ebanks and Mr Arana will address the remaining two recommended actions – on beneficial ownership, and money laundering investigations and prosecutions.

In September, Minister Ebanks led the Cayman Islands delegation that updated a FATF review group in Nicaragua on the two recommended actions, as part of the FATF process leading to the plenary in Paris.

The FATF release states that FATF President T. Raja Kumar of Singapore will announce the update on Friday at 11am CEST (4am Cayman Islands time). The Cayman Islands Government will issue a statement thereafter.

ORANJESTAD (AAN):  E ekipo profesional cu ta traha den sala di operacion na Horacio Oduber Hospital (HOH) a lanta dialuna extra trempan y cu un sonrisa grandi di satisfaccion. Pa 8or di mainta den un camber nobo di operacion na HOH a tuma luga e prome operacion den e compleho nobo di operacion na HOH. Esaki tabata un momento historico pa e team completo di operacion pero tambe pa comunidad di Aruba.

            A warda hopi tempo pa por a muda pa e compleho nobo aki di operacion pero algo ta sigur; e tabata bale la pena paso awo nos ta mira e fruto. “Nos ta para awe den un compleho enorme, moderno y safe pa pashent y sigur uno cu comunidad por ta orguyoso di dje. Por mir’e n’e ambiente y orguyo cu ta reina bou di e team, asina Jacco Vroegop, director di HOH a comenta.

            E prome operacion den e sala nobo di operacion tabata den man di ginecologo Garcia hunto cu anestesiologo Chitarroni y team di operacion completo”. Tambe mester agrega cu e pashent mes tambe tabata contento ya cu e tambe a forma parti di e momento grandi aki na HOH.

            Gerencia di hospital ta gradici specialmente coleganan di camber di operacion Yvonne y Monique cu a traha cu cuerpo y alma pa haci e momento aki posibel. Claro nada no lo tabata posibel sin ayudo di un team grandi di camber di operacion pero tambe diferente otro departamento den Hospital cu a traha duro dia y anochi pa e logro aki. Tambe ela gradici  SOGA, OHL y Gobierno di Aruba pa e sosten y bon cooperacion pa logra cu awe por a start.

            Vroegop ta agrega cu loke ta fastioso di un compleho di OK ta cu tur proceso mester ta na ordo, tur meter di oxigeno, tur cos mester ta precies y ta traha bon den cuadro di siguridad. E ta hopi diferente cu un hotel of cu un otro departamento di cuido. Den un sala di operacion mester tene cuenta cu masha hopi aspecto. Loke ta importante tambe t’e calidad di aire. Vroegop a splica cu constantemente mester tin mehoracion riba esaki ya cu calidad ta un aspecto hopi importante. P’esey a cuminsa awe cu e prome camber di operacion y durante siman lo sigui cu mas te ora yega asina leu  fin di siman cu henter e compleho di OK ta operacional.

            Hospital ta un edificio ya existente y no por a traha tur cos den un solo tiro. Esaki ta e prome fase di e compleho di operacion y awo ta sigui cu e siguiente fase. Prome cu henter e compleho di OK ta cla, lo bay dura un tempo pero algo ta sigur, mi ta convenci y tin tur confiansa cu na final lo trece e organisacion na un compleho ‘state-of-the-art”, Vroegop ta termina.
