In March, we also published our biennial Opinion on ML/TF risks. This Opinion draws on information from the EU’s 57 national AML/CFT supervisors of the financial sector and other work of the EBA. The Opinion provides an insight into the state of the fight against ML/TF in different financial services sub-sectors, as well as an overview of cross-cutting risks such as the Covid-19 pandemic, financial innovation and ‘de-risking’. We will use our findings to inform our policy-making this year and next.

We also published an interactive tool that illustrates all the risks we identified.
