“The EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) should serve as a central AML supervisory body, coordinate with Financial Intelligence Units, and facilitate information sharing among all AML stakeholders, especially through Public-Private Partnerships,” concluded Roger Kaiser, EBF’s Head of Tax & Compliance, at the 24th Policy Series seminar titled “The new European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) – An Introduction,” hosted by the EBI - European Banking Institute. During the event, which also featured insightful contributions from Andrea Minto of the University of Venice and Olena Loboiko from the European Commission, Kaiser emphasized that the establishment of AMLA presents a unique opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of AML/CFT regulation and supervision. This improvement is essential for maintaining financial stability, ensuring security in Europe, and preserving the integrity of financial markets.
