Nurse: Basel AML Index 2024

Tuesday, 10 December, 2024 - 00:43

The Basel AML Index has just appeared and it's vital for anyone updating their country risk assessments, says James Nurse, Managing Director of Fintrail.

The headlines:
🔶 A 12 percentage point improvement in technical compliance with Financial Action Task Force ( FATF ) standards

🔶 The effectiveness of anti-money laundering measures globally as measured by the FATF is just 28 percent, down from 30 percent in 2021

🔶 The inclusion of fraud indicators in the Basel AML Index methodology this year has increased risk scores for high-income countries and those with large financial centres

About this section

Opinion pieces or "Op-Eds" are the home-made bombs of the publishing world. So long as they meet editorial standards, are not intentionally offensive with a view to causing hurt or insult and are relevant to our field of endeavour, we will look at submissions.

We like contentious, we like contrarian views. We don't like pretty much any -ism . We recognise that Opinion pieces are one person's view and are not balanced (if they are balanced and reach a reasoned conclusion, they are probably more suited to the Articles section). We do not like acronyms and buzzwords.

Op-Eds are the author's personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of World Money Laundering Report or its publishers.
