International Monetary Fund

No 2026/022, IMF Policy Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This Note provides guidance to staff on the inclusion of financial integrity and anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) issues in surveillance, financial sector assessment programs (FSAPs), and Use of Fund Resources (UFR), updating previous guidance issued in 2012. Specifically, in line with the 2023 Review of the Fund’s AML/CFT Strategy, the Guidance Note provides a framework for and illustrates how staff can deepen the integration of financial integrity and AML/CFT issues, based on staff’s enhanced understanding of money laundering (ML), financial crimes, and terrorism financing (TF) risks and of their macroeconomic and financial stability impact.
