Date 20/06/2024

Singapore published today its updated Money Laundering (ML) National Risk Assessment (NRA), as part of Singapore’s continuing efforts to maintain the effectiveness of its anti-money laundering (AML) regime amidst the evolving risk landscape.

Since its last ML NRA in 2014, Singapore has been closely monitoring our ML risks including conducting thematic risks assessments in relation to abuse of legal persons, virtual assets, and environmental crime ML, to ensure that these risks are surfaced in a timely manner to facilitate targeted risk mitigation across relevant stakeholders.
