Section of the Bank’s website devoted to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT): update

Through its Communication NBB_2018_04 of 8 February 2018, the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) informed financial institutions of the creation on its website of a section devoted to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (the so-called “AML/CFT site”). This AML/CFT site aims to bring together all legal and regulatory texts on this subject and complement them with comments and recommendations made by the NBB in this area.  

The NBB would hereby like to inform you that the AML/CFT site has been updated. As part of this update, a new page was added on the subject of de-risking, in particular, which includes the EBA statement of 27 April 2022 on financial inclusion in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. For more information, please refer to the AML/CFT site, where you can find an overview of the changes made to the successive versions of the site.
