Angola Gaming and Capital Markets Regulators Sign Compliance Protocol
Angola’s Gaming Supervision Institute and Capital Markets Commission signed an Institutional Cooperation Protocol on October 28, 2025. Dr. Nerethz Tati, ISJ Director General, and Dr. Elmer Serrão, CMC Chairman, formalized the agreement. The protocol targets prevention and combating of money laundering, terrorist financing and weapons proliferation across gambling and financial sectors.
Technical Cooperation Framework Established
The agreement establishes mechanisms for technical cooperation, information sharing and joint training programs between regulators. The protocol emphasizes governance, compliance, and risk management systems across regulated sectors. Operators in gaming and capital markets must align internal processes with the strengthened supervisory framework.
ISJ stated the protocol aims to strengthen convergence of responsibilities among operators through technical cooperation and experience exchange. The agreement represents a step toward consolidating a more transparent national financial system. Standards align with international integrity and risk prevention requirements.
FATF Recommendations Drive Policy
The cooperation responds to Financial Action Task Force recommendations following Angola’s inclusion on the Grey List. The protocol reflects national efforts to align financial and gaming sectors with international transparency standards. The framework addresses compliance gaps identified in previous assessments.
The agreement covers enhanced oversight and risk prevention mechanisms across both regulatory jurisdictions. Joint training programs will support implementation of compliance requirements. The protocol provides structure for ongoing collaboration between ISJ and CMC on supervisory matters.
