EU removes UAE from ‘high-risk' money-laundering list, adds Monaco
The EU yesterday announced the removal of the United Arab Emirates from its money-laundering 'high-risk' list but added Monaco alongside nine other jurisdictions. The European Commission said it added Algeria, Angola, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela, along with Monaco, to the list of countries subject to extra monitoring of their money laundering controls. In addition to the UAE, it removed Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, the Philippines, Senegal and Uganda. The moves come after a money-laundering watchdog said in February it had removed the Philippines from its list of countries that face increased monitoring, while adding Laos and Nepal. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a Paris-based organisation that reviews efforts by more than 200 countries and jurisdictions to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing, compiles a 'grey list' of nations that are subject to increased monitoring of financial transactions. Monaco has been included on the FATF list since mid-2024, along with EU member states Bulgaria and Croatia. 'The commission has now presented an update to the EU list which reiterates our strong commitment to aligning with international standards, particularly those set by the FATF,' the EU's commissioner for financial services, Maria Luis Albuquerque, said. The EU list will now be scrutinised by the European Parliament and member states and will enter into force within one month if there are no objections, the commission said. In a statement, Monaco's government said it had 'taken note of this expected update, which would lead to Monaco being placed on the EU's list, unless the European Parliament or the Council of the EU decides otherwise'. It also stressed its commitment to take the necessary steps to be removed from the FATF's grey list 'in the short term'.

Mazagan: A Moroccan Luxury Oasis That Blends the Charm of the Atlantic with Rich Historical Heritage
– Mazagan… A Colossal Tourism Project Thriving on the Shores of the Atlantic by Rashad Iskandrni El Jadida – Morocco – 11th June 2025: Set along the Atlantic coastline, just 90 kilometers south of Casablanca, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort rises as a unique architectural gem and luxurious destination that combines refined accommodation with the authenticity of a historic setting. Nestled in the heart of the Doukkala region near the historic city of El Jadida, the resort overlooks seven kilometers of pristine beach, embracing the serenity of the ocean and the splendor of nature. The resort officially opened its doors in October 2009 as part of the Plan Azur, a national tourism development initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, aiming to strengthen Morocco's tourism sector and upgrade infrastructure across coastal areas—particularly in El Jadida, formerly known as Mazagan. Once a Portuguese settlement dating back to 1514, Mazagan began as a fortified citadel and gradually evolved into a lush, dreamy city surrounded by greenery, carrying within its walls centuries of history and cultural coexistence. Mazagan is now considered one of North Africa's leading tourism projects, with a construction cost exceeding $370 million USD and a development period of 21 months, supported by the efforts of approximately 3,800 workers. The project contributed significantly to local economic growth, generating over 1,400 direct jobs and 2,000 indirect jobs in a region whose economy was traditionally centered on agriculture and fishing. According to Khadija Idrissi El Hajjami, Director of Communications, Public Relations, and Strategic Partnerships, the result is a world-class resort offering: 500 rooms and suites with stunning ocean views 15 restaurants and bars serving gourmet cuisine An award-winning spa A nightclub and North Africa's largest casino One of the largest conference centers in the region 67 private villas An 18-hole golf course designed by golf legend Gary Player A 2,000 m² conference center Full recreational facilities for children and teens An integrated farm Stables housing purebred Arabian horses A central resort pool A quad bike adventure experience along the Atlantic shore Strategically located just one hour from Mohammed V International Airport—one of Africa's busiest airports—and about three hours from most major European capitals, the resort is an ideal destination for luxury seekers and discerning travelers. An Architectural Masterpiece Celebrating the Spirit of Morocco Spread across 250 hectares, Mazagan stretches along 7 kilometers of white sandy beaches. Its architectural design is inspired by the essence of traditional Moroccan medinas, with earthen-colored walls and signature green-tiled roofs that reflect Andalusian and Moroccan heritage. The resort was developed by Kerzner International, a global leader in luxury hospitality, known for iconic brands such as Atlantis, One&Only, and Rare Finds—renowned for creating immersive guest experiences and unmatched service standards. Located near the historic UNESCO World Heritage city of El Jadida, guests at Mazagan can explore the ancient Portuguese citadel and roam its timeless streets rich with Moroccan authenticity. Mazagan offers a fully immersive experience for lovers of refined living—from gourmet dining to spa indulgence, championship golf, and breathtaking oceanfront views—making it a symbol of excellence for anyone seeking an unforgettable stay in the heart of Morocco.
