Curacao finance minister emphasizes importance of new gambling legislation

The National Ordinance for Games of Chance is crucial, the Curaçao Minister of Finance emphasized, serving as a safety net to shield Curaçao from the possibility of being placed on a "grey list." His worry is caused by Curaçao's vulnerability to anti-money laundering measures.


As Curaçao prepares for a financial assessment by the Financial Action Task Force the next year, the threat of being placed on a "grey list" is quite real. The minister emphasized the real and unsettling prospect of being added to the "grey list," which might lead to restricted or barred trade with some governments and have a detrimental effect on the profits of local businesses.
