On 11th December FATF published its report on Portugal’s AML/CFT regimes and concludes that Portugal has a sound and effective regime for fighting money laundering and terrorist financing, but should improve implementation of measures aimed at non-financial business and professions. Non-financial businesses and professions and their supervisors lack the understanding of the risks involved. It says that Portugal should allocate appropriate means and resources to the FIU so that it can adequately manage and investigate the increasing volume of suspicious transaction reports, and conduct strategic analysis to identify ML/TF trends and patterns, and should also maintain adequate and comprehensive ML/TF-related statistics in order to better support and document its understanding and analysis of risks, and demonstrate the actions taken and results achieved.
