The draft regulations seek to, amongst others, align the exchange control framework with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Financial Action Task Force recommendations aimed at combating money laundering, and the proliferation of illicit financial flows; inclusion of crypto-assets within the ambit of exchange control framework; and impose administrative sanctions where there is non-compliance with the Regulations.
Written comments on the draft Regulations may be submitted within 30 days after the date of this notice. By making a submission, the commentator agrees that the name of the commentator and the submission may be made public by the National Treasury and the submission will be disclosed if requested in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000.
