The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) published its first multi-year Single Programming Document (SPD) for 2026-2028, setting out priorities, timelines and a work programme as it moves from foundation to delivery. The SPD frames scheduled mandates for 2026 around three core deliverables: completing the Single Rulebook, advancing supervisory convergence, and strengthening cooperation among Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). For 2026, the plan is organised around five interlinked activity areas: delivering core regulatory mandates, advancing direct supervision, operationalising the FIU framework, laying the foundations for indirect supervision and oversight, and building AMLA’s risk frameworks. It also highlights a simplification focus and prioritises areas intended to provide clearer direction to industry, including rules on customer due diligence and business relationships and a consistent supervisory framework across the EU; operational scaling is set out alongside policy delivery, with staff numbers expected to rise from 120 at end-2025 to 432 by end-2027. The SPD is positioned as a market roadmap and points to forthcoming public consultations to support input on upcoming mandates.
