In 2008, the Government of Namibia enacted the 2007 Financial Intelligence Act, which serves as the cornerstone of Namibia's anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing efforts in concert with the Prevention of Organized Crime Act (2004), the Anti-Corruption Act (2003), the Drug Control Bill, and the Antiterrorism Bill (the latter two were not yet enacted at year's end).
This legislative package calls for reporting of the following acts: suspicious transactions, large cash transactions, electronic funds transfers, and cross-border conveyances of currency. It also strengthened the government's ability to investigate and prosecute money-laundering crimes. With the support of the United States, Namibia's Financial Intelligence Unit has been established and is operational.
