West African financial and security regulation updates

Overview

Niger has introduced a new regulatory framework to oversee the physical transport of large sums of money. Announced on September 22, 2026, the measure aims to combat terrorism financing and illicit financial circuits. Under joint decree No. 00428, transporting funds exceeding specific banking thresholds now requires a formal declaration to authorities. The government stated that previously seized funds may be returned to owners if they can legally justify the origin, ownership, and destination of the money and no judicial proceedings are pending.
