Risk evaluation

The Basel AML Index Expert Edition can be used as a standalone risk evaluation solution or as an independent benchmarking tool to validate in-house risk assessments.

Comparison of countries and jurisdictions

Access jurisdiction profiles and compare the risk scores to regional and world averages.

Sanctions and blacklists

The ranking table highlights sanctions and other lists relevant to evaluating a jurisdiction’s money laundering risk, including those issued by the FATF, UN Security Council, U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, European Union and United Kingdom.

Expert Edition Plus

Additional analysis

The Expert Edition Plus offers a detailed comparative analysis of the FATF data. This allows users to assess each FATF Recommendation individually by focusing on specific compliance needs, for example due diligence or terrorist financing regulations.

Numerical rating

This enhanced analysis presents the FATF rating as a numerical, colour-coded scale. The data is available in Excel format, accompanied by graphics and an analysis of main achievements and trends.

Written analysis

A quarterly analysis report highlights global and regional trends in FATF compliance and effectiveness. It also summarises the FATF results of newly assessed countries and jurisdictions, and identifies those at risk of being grey listed.

Special reports

Short reports are available on Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands, which are important financial centres but do not have sufficient data to be included in the ranking.
