The CMC said the agreement provides a framework for cooperation in regulation, supervision, and inspection<\/strong>, including technical and statistical information-sharing, training and technical capacity-building, and coordinated supervision of operators in sectors under the remit of both institutions. It also covers cooperation in preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
