Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was formed in 1989 and is a cross-border body which draws up international standards for combating money laundering, financing of terrorism and financing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
Money laundering and terrorist financing are global problems.
The Swedish Police leads a national coordinating body for measures to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. FI and other authorities participate in this work.
The EU and Sweden’s Parliament are issuing rules to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. In addition, Finansinspektionen has issued regulations that firms under its supervision need to follow to prevent the financial system from being misused for money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
Firms and other actors on the financial market must report financial data to Finansinspektionen. We then use this data as a basis for assessing the financial status of individual firms and the financial market as a whole.
Every year, FI requests information from undertakings that are subject to the money laundering regulations. The information is used as a basis for FI's risk-based supervision. A number of new questions have been added to next year's periodic reporting on money laundering.
The sentiment in the Swedish economy has improved in recent months even if households continue to demonstrate weaker sentiment than normal.
