Angola’s Gaming Supervision Institute provides AML technical assistance to tax authority
Technical assistance initiative forms part of a broader cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening anti-money laundering controls and institutional collaboration.
Angola.- Angola’s Gaming Supervision Institute (ISJ) has provided technical assistance to the General Tax Administration’s (AGT) task force responsible for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing.
The support was delivered through the regulator’s Technical Group for Mutual Evaluation (GTAM) on June 17, with the initiative focused on promoting the exchange of experiences, sharing technical knowledge and disseminating best practices in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT).
According to the ISJ, the initiative was aimed at strengthening institutional cooperation and supporting anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing efforts, reflecting the regulator’s responsibility for overseeing Angola’s gambling, lottery and wider gaming sectors.
Recently, the ISJ stepped up efforts to combat illegal gambling and strengthen supervision of licensed operators as part of a broader regulatory drive aimed at improving compliance across the sector.
The action forms part of a cooperation protocol signed by the ISJ and AGT in Luanda in early 2026. The agreement established mechanisms for continuous collaboration, technical coordination and mutual support between the two institutions.
In a statement, the regulator said: “With this initiative, the ISJ reaffirms its commitment to strengthening national mechanisms to prevent and combat ML/TF, contributing to the consolidation of a more integrated, transparent, secure and resilient financial system.”
The regulator added that the initiative supports efforts to strengthen anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls through greater cooperation between public institutions.
