community of such designations through Central Bank
circulars. The Capital Market Authority, which regulates the

Central Bank does inform the financial community when such
individuals and entities are identified. He reaffirmed the
Bank's firm commitment to U.S. government efforts to combat
all forms of money laundering and terrorist financing.
