Supplementary notes

* This country was not assessed with the fourth-round Financial Action Task Force (FATF) methodology in 2021, limiting comparability.

Figures prior 2022 come from earlier publications.
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.
