ABSTRACT
Terrorists are incessantly searching for new undetectable means to obtain funding. Thus, combating money laundering has taken precedence on the international agenda, as a cornerstone in the fight against terrorism. Located in a region where terrorism is rampant, especially after the eruption of the Arab uprisings, Egypt needed to take all measures to dry up their sources of funding. This chapter examines Egypt's role in combating terrorist financing following the Muslim Brotherhood. It provides an overview on the development of Egypt's role in combating the rise of terrorism before and after the uprisings. The chapter sheds light on the various methods used by terrorists to finance their operations in Egypt. It then examines Egypt's legislative measures and regulatory institutions to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. The chapter also addresses Egypt's role in regional and international governance on combating terrorist financing.
