Peru Makes Progress in Financial Inclusion and Anti-Money Laundering Efforts

Lima, Peru - The Peruvian government has taken significant steps to improve its financial inclusion and anti-money laundering (AML) regime, according to a recent report. The country’s efforts have been recognized by international authorities, who have praised Peru’s progress in implementing the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations.

Improvements Made

Peru has made improvements in several key areas, including:

• Assessing risk and applying a risk-based approach to AML/CFT (Combating the Financing of Terrorism)
• National cooperation and coordination
• Confiscation of criminal proceeds
• Prevention of terrorist financing and targeted financial sanctions related to terrorism and terrorist financing

Areas for Improvement

However, the report also highlights areas where Peru still needs to improve, including:

• Implementing effective customer due diligence for new technologies
• Enhancing transparency and beneficial ownership of legal persons and arrangements
• Strengthening regulation and supervision of designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs)

International Recognition

Despite these challenges, Peru’s efforts have been recognized by international authorities. The country has made significant progress in implementing the FATF Recommendations, with ratings of “largely compliant” or “partially compliant” in many areas.

Conclusion

The report concludes that Peru’s financial inclusion and AML/CFT regime is improving, but that there is still work to be done to ensure its effectiveness. The government is encouraged to continue its efforts to strengthen its AML/CFT regime and address the remaining gaps identified in the report.
