Insights on FATF Guidance - Financial Inclusion and AML/CFT Measures (Part Two)

In June 2025, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), issued guidance on Financial Inclusion and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures. The FATF recognizes that applying an overly cautious approach to AML/CFT can have the unintended consequence of excluding businesses and consumers from the financial system.

During the podcast moderated by Richa Goyal of Toronto Centre, Mehmet Kerse (Senior Financial Sector Specialist) and Louis de Koker (Consultant) at CGAP discussed:

• Balancing AML/CFT compliance with financial inclusion.
• The potential of regtech and suptech to enhance financial inclusion.
