Prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing

The prevention and fight against money laundering and terrorist financing is a national priority that involves the adoption of legislative initiatives on a regular basis, taking into account the evolution of the standards adopted by international bodies, such as the FATF and Moneyval, and the commitments to transpose European Union regulations derived from the Monetary Agreement between the Principality of Andorra and the European Union.

It should also be highlighted that Andorra is the subject of regular evaluations by the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism of the Council of Europe (Moneyval). As part of these evaluations it is essential to ensure adequate and effective implementation of relevant international standards, as materialised through the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”).
