Overview

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setter on anti-money laundering (AML), countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), and counter-proliferation financing (CPF), has long recognised that financial integrity and financial inclusion should advance hand in hand as complementary objectives of the global AML/CFT system. However, in practice, achieving this balance remains challenging.

Greylisting is one context in which this tension becomes particularly visible. Yet, the impact of greylisting on financial inclusion is still largely discussed anecdotally, rather than examined in a systematic and evidence-based way.

Drawing on RUSI’s recent research, this event will explore the relationship between FATF greylisting and financial inclusion, alongside greylisting’s broader implications for AML/CFT policy and practice.


Speakers:

  • Arzu Abbasova, Research Analyst at Centre for Finance and Security.
  • Rebekah Sittner, Director, Monero Global.

Moderator: Louis de Koker, Professor, La Trobe University.
