Several financial analysts will by September begin a US-funded training programme in the use of intelligence data management software, which will improve Guyana’s efforts in detecting money laundering and terrorist financing.

The US$150,000 (approximately $30 million) funding will cover the cost of training as well as support services from IBM Corporation.
