FATF Consultation on RBA: - The GCFFC have submitted a response to the FATF consultation on proposed revisions to R.1/INR.1/INR.10/INR.15 which in particular focusses on the Risk Based Approach. The submitted paper is also available on the GCFFC website - see comments for link. As the paper states - “Whilst we support the changes proposed, we believe that these changes alone are unlikely to have a material effect. In particular we believe that significant improvements to the FATF Standards governing country National Risk Assessments are a necessary precondition to improving the risk based approach”. We double down on this precondition and explain how the current risk based approach is not working effectively and has consequences for financial inclusion. We make specific proposals and drafting editing suggestions which we feel would prove invaluable and should be taken into account in the 5th round of country evaluations. Thanks to the many expert contributions to this submission including from: Alison Clew (USA), Angela Harbour (UK), Andrew Chow (Singapore), Denisse Rudich (UK), Dr Sorcha MacLeod (Denmark), Greta Barkauskienė (Lithuania), Jean-Michel Rousseau (Switzerland), John Cusack (UK), Julia Chin 陈碧茹 (Singapore), Karen Nitschke (Australia), Kateryna Boguslavska (Switzerland), Matthew Long (Luxembourg), Michael Levi (UK), Michal Gromek (Poland), Nicolas Choules-Burbidge (Canada), Phale M.

Next milestone completed. They say, "Your words start to lose value when your actions do not follow." So we are consistently moving forward since the summit in Stockholm. After submitting evidence proving to the UN-HRC Working Group on Mercenaries thar these actors use Cryptocurrencies. The official recommendation has been to enhance the FATSs 1st Interpretive Note to align with reality and acknowledge Mercenaries and Private Military Security Companies (PMSCs). In the newest consultation submisssion - the Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime supported the The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Working Group's recommendations to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)! We all wish for international community to move even quicker, but according to the my experience, this is nearly a lightening speed for the int level- so I am as always eternally optimistic.

Nice present by Santa Claus 🎄 🎅 The European Journal of Risk Regulation is a leading peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal published quarterly, connecting scholars and practitioners since 2009. How are risks to citizens’ health, safety, privacy and the environment regulated across policy domains globally? Which regulatory responses to offer in times of uncertainty and societal contestation? As the pace of change accelerates, and as risk interconnections deepen, the journal explores classic and emerging risk phenomena, ranging from new technologies, environmental degradation, pharmaceuticals, food and other consumer products, to financial regulation, natural disasters and terrorism. It features research articles, current developments and reports, analyses of decisions by national and international courts and book reviews by pre-eminent scholars and practitioners from around the world. EJRR is addressed at academics, professionals, policy-makers and all those involved or interested in the global risk landscape.

Could not come soon enough! For years I have raised this in discussion - the impacts of FATF standards and guidelines on financial exclusion / financial inclusion. Glad to see RUSI organizing this, and I hope the discussion insights are shared! Advancing Financial Inclusion under the New FATF Leadership A roundtable discussion to explore the potential next steps forward for financial inclusion under new leadership of the #FATF Per usual, thanks Louis De Koker for sharing! #financialinclusion #financialexclusion #AML #compliance #standards
The Centre for Finance and Security (CFS) at RUSI is hosting an in-person roundtable in London to explore key themes regarding the FATF and financial inclusion/exclusion, including: - Are the current incentives sufficient to ensure that FATF standards are implemented in a way that supports financial inclusion? - What challenges might the private sector face regarding these revisions, and how can they support the FATF’s efforts? If you are in London, do reach out to Fatima Busra A. and join the discussion next Monday! https://lnkd.in/gMuBahyg

In my view, the recent market correction is partly due to the BSEC's strong actions, which I personally support. The market is mainly driven by Middle East conflicts. BSEC's role is not to interfere with the market but to ensure that regulations are enforced. Its primary responsibility is to curb practices like serial trading and insider trading while protecting investors from fraud. The current BSEC is taking the right approach. While this may affect investor confidence in the short term, it will ultimately foster a healthier environment for value investing in the long run. As an investor, I see this as an opportunity to take long positions in the market, despite expectations that last quarter's earnings may be weaker due to the events of July.

GCFFC information Wall 2024 - A resource that we produced for the GCFFC Annual Summit last week was a 2 page fact sheet summarising open source estimates for harms and for proceeds and profits from financial crime - we all know these come with a health warning but they help to contextualise the fight and to focus on the purpose - it doesn’t make for a positive read. This updates the 2021 version. The link to the 2024 online document is in the comments below which also links to the 2021 version.
