Distinguished speakers, including Rick McDonell, former Chairperson for the Asia Pacific Group (APG) on money laundering, and Loretta Joseph, VFSC's digital asset regulatory framework consultant, provided invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of virtual assets and financial integrity.
Thought-provoking panel discussions delved into critical topics such as aligning with international standards set by APG, FATF, and the European Union, tackling the EU blacklist challenge, optimizing Financial Dealers Licence (FDL) requirements, and propelling Vanuatu's fintech industry forward.
The symposium concluded with the prestigious FDL awards ceremony, celebrating local business practices, professional development, and community service excellence. TMGM's prominent role as Gold Sponsor highlighted its steadfast commitment to Vanuatu's financial evolution.
This dedication was further exemplified by TMGM's recent accolades: the company was honored as First Runner-up for Best Community Support 2024 and recognized for achieving the Highest Client Numbers in 2024.
