Basel AML Index 2012

This is the first edition of the Basel AML Index.

The Basel AML Index is an independent annual ranking that assesses the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) around the world.

Published by the Basel Institute on Governance since 2012, it provides risk scores based on data from 15 publicly available sources such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum. The risk scores cover five domains:

• Quality of AML/CFT Framework
• Bribery and Corruption
• Financial Transparency and Standards
• Public Transparency and Accountability
• Legal and Political Risks

The Basel AML Index is developed and maintained by the Basel Institute’s International Centre for Asset Recovery.
