The Financial Action Task Force is hugely influential in combatting money laundering and terror financing.
Their 'black' and 'gray' lists are powerful tools in shutting out bad actors from the world economy but also incentivising countries to fight corruption and dark money in their own systems.
But what does it feel like to be at the top of an organisation impacting financial regulations, policies, and living standards for people across the world?
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined byT. Raja Kumar, President of the Financial Action Task Force to discuss: what it means to be FATF President.
They discuss: the role of the FATF in 2024 and the presidency, the biggest challenges facing the FATF today, how the organisation stays relevant three decades on from its foundation.
