Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) plays an important role in efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The IMF is especially concerned about the possible consequences of money laundering and the financing of terrorism on its members' economies and financial systems. These include risks to the soundness and stability of financial institutions and financial systems, increased volatility of international capital flows, and a dampening effect on foreign direct investment. The three main areas of the IMF's work in connection with anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism are Assessments, Technical Assistance and Policy Development.
