The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism published a note on a keynote speech by its Chair, Bruna Szego, at the European Anti-Financial Crime Summit in Dublin, setting out AMLA’s strategic priorities and calling for unified public and private sector action against money laundering and terrorist financing. Szego framed AMLA as a step toward enhanced EU-level cooperation and highlighted three immediate priorities: establishing the Authority’s operational foundations, building supervisory and Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) coordination capacity, and fostering a culture of cooperation across the anti-money laundering system. She also pointed to synergies in AMLA’s dual mandate of supervision and FIU coordination, arguing for breaking down silos between supervision and intelligence, and stressed the need to raise awareness of AML system changes with the non-financial sector, particularly newly obliged entities.
