The 10th Public Edition of the Basel AML Index was released on September 13, 2021. The Basel AML Index is an independent assessment and ranking of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks around the world, published by the Basel Institute on Governance since 2012 through its International Centre for Asset Recovery. The accompanying report questions whether jurisdictions are serious about tackling their ML/TF risks, given this year’s slight increase in the average global ML/TF risk score from 5.22 to 5.30 out of 10. It also highlights four specific areas of concern, relating to: virtual assets, beneficial ownership transparency, designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), and preventive measures.
