Peru Takes Steps to Enhance AML/CFT Compliance as Global Regulators Clamp Down on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

Lima, Peru - [Date]

The Peruvian government has launched an ambitious effort to bolster its financial system’s resilience against money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) by enhancing Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance.

Enhancing AML/CFT Compliance

As part of this initiative, Peruvian authorities are working closely with international regulatory bodies, including the European Banking Authority (EBA), to develop a robust AML/CFT framework that aligns with global standards. This move is in line with the EBA’s mandate to ensure the integrity and transparency of financial markets across the EU.

The EBA’s Efforts

The EBA’s efforts to prevent ML/TF involve:

  • Leading the development of AML/CFT policy
  • Supporting its effective implementation by competent authorities and financial institutions
  • Monitoring the implementation of EU AML/CFT policies and standards
  • Fostering an effective risk-based approach to AML/CFT with consistent outcomes

Peru’s AML/CFT Compliance Drive

Peru’s AML/CFT compliance drive is seen as a crucial step towards strengthening its financial system’s defenses against money laundering and terrorist financing. The country’s authorities are working diligently to:

  • Coordinate with international partners
  • Exchange information
  • Develop a common understanding of ML/TF risks

Positive Impact on the Financial Sector

As the global regulatory landscape continues to evolve, Peru’s commitment to enhancing AML/CFT compliance is likely to have a positive impact on its financial sector’s reputation and resilience. With this initiative, Peruvian authorities aim to ensure that the country remains at the forefront of international efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
