Ep. 166: Insights on FATF Guidance - Financial Inclusion and AML/CFT Measures (Part One)
Description
This is the first in a two-part podcast series published in partnership with CGAP.
In June 2025, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), issued guidance on Financial Inclusion and Anti-Money Laundering, and Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) measures. FATF recognizes that applying an overly cautious approach to anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, AML/CFT safeguards, can have the unintended consequence of excluding businesses and consumers from the financial system.
The speakers discussed:
- How proportionality supports financial inclusion
- The complimentary nature of financial inclusion and financial integrity
- The consultation process with international bodies and standard setters
Speakers:
Ivo Jeník, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, CGAP
Louis de Koker, Consultant, CGAP; Professor of Law, La Trobe University, Australia
Host:
Richa Goyal, Program Director, Toronto Centre
