Ep.167: Insights on FATF Guidance - Financial Inclusion and AML/CFT Measures (Part Two)
Description
This is the second 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:
- Balancing AML/CFT compliance with financial inclusion
- The potential of RegTech and SupTech to enhance financial inclusion
- The importance of sex-disaggregated data in removing barriers to financial inclusion
Speakers:
Mehmet Kerse, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, CGAP
Louis de Koker, Consultant, CGAP; Professor of Law, La Trobe University, Australia
Host:
Richa Goyal, Program Director, Toronto Centre
