Paraguay Tightens Rules on Politically Exposed Persons Screening
As the government of Paraguay continues to strengthen its anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) framework, the country’s financial institutions are under increased pressure to identify and manage Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).
What are Politically Exposed Persons?
A PEP is defined as an individual who holds a significant public position or role, such as:
- A government official
- High-ranking executive in a state-owned enterprise
- Military leader
- Member of royalty or nobility
- International organization official
These individuals are considered high-risk due to their access to power and potential influence on decision-making processes.
Why is PEP Screening Important in Paraguay?
The importance of PEP screening cannot be overstated in Paraguay, where the government has made significant efforts to strengthen its AML/CFT framework. By identifying and managing PEPs, financial institutions can mitigate potential risks associated with money laundering and other illicit activities.
