Supplementary notes

* According to the source, this country was not yet assessed with the fourth-round FATF methodology, limiting comparability.
This statistic was compiled using earlier editions of the report.

Risk scores are based on data from publicly available sources such as the FATF, Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum.

The source measured the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing by using several indicators, such as rule of law and financial regulations. It is explicitly stated that there is no reliable quantitative data on money laundering available, and the index score is used to "indicate the risk level, i.e. the vulnerabilities of money laundering and terrorist financing within a country". The higher the number, the higher the risk.
