    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The Economic and Social Implications of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act on a Small, Developing Economy Rambarran, Richard University of Hyderabad 15 November 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/68056/ MPRA Paper No. 68056, posted 25 Nov 2015 06:17 UTC 1 The Economic and Social Implications of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act on a Small, Developing Economy Richard N. Rambarran School of Economics, University of Hyderabad Abstract: This paper seeks to critically examine the likely economic and social implications of the recent amendments to the ‘Anti-Money laundering and countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Act 2015’ (AML-CFTA 2015 Act) on a small, developing, open economy, Guyana. This paper examines the amendments to original 2009 Bill and whether this new act, given the complexities of the small, developing country, would serve to promote the best economic interest of its people who, are at critical juncture of their national development. The paper serves to hypothesize and examine not only macroeconomic implications, but also microeconomic behaviour, and the implication on the behaviour of agents within society directly and indirectly affected by this bill. Keywords: Anti-Money laundering, Terrorism, Narco-trafficking, Growth, Crime, Development JEL classification: K14, K22, K42, D72, D73 I.

Granger President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana Your Excellency, In my capacity as Chairman of the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, I have the honour to submit the Report of the Inquiry to which the President appointed us by Instrument dated 8th February, 2014. The Commissioners were, in the Instrument of Appointment, expected to submit their Report within ten (10) weeks from the start of the Commission. The Commission started its work on 28th April, 2014. As we understand it, the premise informing the early submission date was that the Commission coming thirty-four (34) years after the death of Dr. Walter Rodney and the events surrounding that event, would, in all probability, be supported by only a few persons volunteering to give evidence and/or having an interest in this matter.

Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up prom- ised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s con- temporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “re- splendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.
