The Basel Institute on Governance has published its independent annual ranking that assesses the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) around the world.

Since 2012 the Basel AML Index has provided risk scores based on data from 18 publicly available sources, including the Financial Action Task Force, Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum.

Scope

The public edition of the Basel AML Index 2022 covers 128 countries with sufficient data to calculate a reliable ML/TF risk score while the expert edition provides a comprehensive list of scores and sub-indicators for 203 countries.

The risk scores cover five domains: quality of anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism framework; bribery and corruption; financial transparency and standards; public transparency and accountability, and legal and political risks.
