San Marino’s Ministry of Finance and Budget, together with the Italian Embassy in San Marino, hosted a bilateral Italy–San Marino conference focused on anti-money laundering (AML) rules and policies. The event aimed to map the existing AML regulatory framework in each country and across the bilateral relationship, and to frame areas for closer regulatory and operational cooperation. The programme drew speakers from the Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino, Italy’s Ministry of Finance, the European Commission, the Bank of Italy and the Guardia di Finanza. Discussion was positioned against the European AML framework and the supervisory coordination challenges created by evolving technologies, including new digital instruments and crypto-assets, which were cited as drivers of ongoing adjustments to supervisory measures and greater alignment of rules and best practices; further deepening of Italy–San Marino cooperation was linked to San Marino’s Association Agreement process with the European Union.
