ISBN: 1451815085
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Gibraltar’s Detailed Assessment Report on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism is reviewed. The principal AML risk to Gibraltar is lodged in its professional sector, which is likely to be involved in the layering and integration of proceeds of crime. There is also some risk to Gibraltar at the placement stage, in connection with drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, and organized crime in southern Spain. The Financial Services Commission in Gibraltar has established a strong, risk-based framework for financial institutions for AML.

The Withdrawal of Correspondent Banking Relationships
Author: Mrs.Michaela Erbenova
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1498336531
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
This paper focuses on the withdrawal of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) in some jurisdictions post-global financial crisis. It describes existing evidence and consequences of the withdrawal of CBRs and explores drivers of this phenomenon drawing on recent surveys and select country information. While the withdrawal of CBRs has reached a critical level in some affected countries, which can have a systemic impact if unaddressed, macroeconomic consequences have not been identified so far at a global level. The paper presents responses from the international community to address this phenomenon, and explains the role that the IMF has been playing in this global effort, especially with regards to supporting member countries in the context of surveillance and technical assistance, facilitating dialogue among stakeholders, and encouraging data gathering efforts. The paper concludes by suggesting policy responses by public and private sector stakeholders needed to further mitigate potential negative impacts that could undermine financial stability, inclusion, growth and development goals.

Anti-money Laundering and Counter-terrorism Financing Across the Globe
Author: Julie Walters
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781921532818
Category : Money laundering
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Most developed countries across the globe have enacted to prescribe acts of money laundering and financing of terrorism, and to enable the proceeeds of crime to be recovered from offenders. Despite the normative approach taken in the FATF-GAFI recommendations, the specific legislative and procedural responses taken by individual countries have differed in many respects. Law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies need to understand the differences that exist in criminal law relating to money laundering between different countries when investigating and prosecuting illegal conduct, as conduct of this nature often entails cross-border activity requiring mutual assistance between agencies and extradition of suspects across jurisdictional borders. The countries included were the European Union (the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Belguim), Asia (the Republic of China (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Singapore), the United States and Australia.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there has been increased public interest in informal funds transfer (IFT) systems. This paper examines the informal hawala system, an IFT system found predominantly in the Middle East and South Asia. The paper examines the historical and socioeconomic context within which the hawala has evolved, the operational features that make it susceptible to potential financial abuse, the fiscal and monetary implications for hawala-remitting and hawala-recipient countries, and current regulatory and supervisory responses.

Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing
Author:
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821379135
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
"Money laundering and terrorist financing are serious crimes that affect not only those persons directly involved, but the economy as a whole. According to international standards, every bank has the obligation to know its customers and to report suspicious transactions. Although these obligations sound straightforward, they have proved challenging to implement. What information precisely has to be gathered? How should it be recorded? If and when does one have to file a suspicious transaction report? It is here that a supervisor can play a crucial role in helping supervised institutions; first, in understanding the full extent of the obligations of Customer Due Diligence and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) and, second, in ensuring that those obligations are not just words on paper but are applied in practice. Effective supervision is key to the success of a country's AML/CFT system. In this regard, field work in both developed and developing countries has shown an overall low compliance in the area of supervision of banks and other financial institutions; supervisory compliance is indeed generally lower than the average level of compliance with all Financial Action Task Force recommendations. As a result, by providing examples of good practices, this book aims to help countries better conform to international standards. In this regard, this handbook is specifically designed for bank supervisors.

ISBN: 9781589064232
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Hawala and other remittance systems have gained attention in recent years with the substantial growth of remittance flows from countries with large migrant labor forces and with increased focus on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The IMF and the World Bank have been researching these systems since 2002 to better understand the interplay of historical, cultural, and economic factors that promote such systems. This book is a survey of regulatory practices and an overview of experiences in different countries, and includes articles on regulatory frameworks in remitting and receiving countries and on the problems that can arise when regulating remittance systems.

Financial Intelligence Units
Author: International Monetary Fund
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 9781589063495
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Over the past decade and beyond, the need for a modern anti-money-laundering strategy has become widely accepted internationally. Depriving criminal elements of the proceeds of their crimes has increasingly been seen as an important tool to combat drug trafficking and, more recently, as a critical element in fighting organized crime, corruption, and the financing of terrorism, and maintaining the integrity of financial markets. The first few financial intelligence units (FIUs) were established in the early 1990s in response to the need for countries to have a central agency to receive, analyze, and disseminate financial information to combat money laundering. Over the ensuing period, the number of FIUs has continued to increase, reaching 84 in 2003. This handbook responds to the need for information on FIUs. It provides references to the appropriate Financial ActionTask Force (FATF) standards wherever appropriate.
