The Basel AML Index 2025 Launch Event is an annual online gathering organized by the Basel Institute on Governance to unveil the latest Public Edition of the Basel Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Index. This independent ranking assesses global money laundering and financial crime risks, providing valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and researchers.
The 2025 edition focuses on two critical themes: evaluating financial crime risks associated with virtual assets at the jurisdictional level and identifying lower-risk jurisdictions to enhance resource allocation through a risk-based approach. The event features a presentation of key findings by Kateryna Boguslavska, Head of Financial Crime Risk at the Basel Institute, followed by a panel discussion with experts from the Wolfsberg Group, the Financial Intelligence Authority of Malawi, and the European Central Bank.
Attendees have the opportunity to engage with leading professionals in the field, gaining insights into emerging trends and challenges in combating financial crime. The event is particularly beneficial for compliance officers, risk managers, policymakers, and academics seeking to stay informed about global AML developments and best practices.
