MOHAMED ALGARJ

Explaining a data finding without overstating it ILLUSTRATIVE BRIEF | PREPARED 6 SEPTEMBER 2026

A sample briefing adapted from Mohamed Algarj's published analysis. Prepared for this portfolio; it does not represent a client commission or an institutional statement.

Purpose and audience Help an editor, interviewer or policy reader understand the significance of the transfer figures and the limits of the public record.

Core message The published tables identify a substantial rise in miscellaneous foreign-currency transfers and the banks executing them. They do not provide a separately linked breakdown of the category's final beneficiaries, purposes and destinations.

$2.285bn +640% 82.8% JAN-JUL 2026 YEAR-ON-YEAR VIA TWO BANKS

Questions to answer clearly Does concentration establish wrongdoing? No. An executing bank is not necessarily the ultimate economic beneficiary. Concentration identifies where further explanation is needed.

Can the country tables resolve the destination question? Not by themselves. The analysis explains that those tables combine financing instruments and accepted requests; they are not a transfer-only breakdown of executed amounts.

What additional disclosure would help? A reconciled breakdown by purpose, destination, sector and beneficiary, with accepted and executed amounts distinguished and any classification changes explained.

Source: published analysis, underlying report references and calculations

Data period: 1 January-31 July 2026, compared with the same period in 2025. Figures are rounded. This brief restates the published analysis; it is not a separate audit of the underlying bank records.
