Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican government has approved the Strategy to Prevent and Combat Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Nuclear Proliferation (2023-2027), a document that aims to monitor effective actions of national coordination and international cooperation.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, after the weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers (Cabinet), held on Tuesday in Maputo, the government spokesperson, Deputy Justice Minister Filim\u00e3o Suaze, said \u201cThe strategy aims to contribute, build and maintain a robust Mozambican financial system, through the adoption of effective preventive and repressive measures for acts of money laundering and terrorism financing, as well as the effective implementation of international normative standards\u201d.<\/p>\n

Suaze said that recent statements by President, Filipe Nyusi should mobilize all Mozambicans to be vigilant in all financial transactions made in the country.<\/p>\n

On Monday, in the central province of Sofala (Beira City), speaking during a meeting with the bodies of the Council of State Representation Services and the Provincial Executive Council, Nyusi warned that some owners of fuel pumps have been using these businesses to finance the jihadist terrorists operating in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Nyusi thought there were strong signs of money laundering in the retail fuel business, and demanded that corrective measures be taken.<\/p>\n

But Nyusi did not name any fuel operator in particular. Wednesday\u2019s issue of the independent newssheet \u201cCarta de Mocambique\u201d points out that the problem has its roots in the \u201cextreme liberalization\u201d of retail sales, which dates to 2015-2016.<\/p>\n

Price fixing mechanisms were made more flexible and profit margins for fuel distributors and retailers were increased, making the business very attractive.<\/p>\n

Licensing was made easier, and so today there are about 40 licensed fuel retailers in Mozambique, although only 15 are active (this compares with just eight retailers in South Africa). But in addition to these retailers, any citizen can open a petrol station, as long as he has a supply contract with one of the licensed distributors.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarta de Mocambique\u201d fears that, with this liberalization, the Mozambican state has come close to losing control. There has been a proliferation of fuel pumps along the road from Beira to Zimbabwe, many of which are owned by foreign citizens, including Somalis, Tanzanians and Chinese.<\/p>\n

The paper notes that nobody knows \u2013 at least publicly \u2013 how these new petrol stations are being financed.<\/p>\n
