In this first AMLCO newsletter of 2025, the FSMA is focusing on the third edition of its AMLCO Day. This took place virtually on 11 December 2024 and took the ‘AML Package’ as its central topic. The FSMA is delighted at the success of the third edition. More than 2300 people attended the webinar.
During the event, the FSMA drew the attention of all AMLCOs to the principal changes in the new regulatory texts as regards the obligations applicable to their entities for the struggle against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT). The FSMA also enjoyed the collaboration of the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) and the Belgian Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTIF-CFI). The NBB focused on the functioning and competencies of the future European Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA). The CTIF-CFI addressed the impact of the new texts on financial intelligence processing units.
