The Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA) has released the latest Trends and Typologies Report covering the period from 2022 to 2024.
The report provides a deeper understanding of financial crime activities by examining the behaviours, methods, geographical locations, and categories of individuals involved in money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing and other financial crimes. The production of this report is in line with FIA's function stipulated under section 4(d) of the Financial Crimes Act (FCA) of 2017 on conducting research into trends, techniques and developments in the area of financial crimes including money laundering, tracing of proceeds of crime, and terrorist financing in order to improve the detection, prevention and deterrence of money laundering and terrorist financing.The report is a key strategic product that provides valuable insights into the evolving nature of financial crimes in Malawi and supports informed decision-making among stakeholders involved in Anti-Money Laundering, Combating Financing of Terrorist, and Combating Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF) efforts.
Beyond the legal requirement under Malawi's laws, the production of the report also aligns with international AML/CFT/CPF standards and best practices. Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) across the world are expected to conduct strategic analysis to identify risks, emerging threats, and vulnerabilities.
As financial crimes continue to evolve, the FIA remains committed to producing strategic intelligence products that promote awareness, enhance preparedness, and support collective action in safeguarding the integrity of Malawi's financial sector.
The FIA has been producing trends and typologies reports since 2011.
The Report is available under Publications -> ML/TF Typologies Reports.
