CFATF SURVEY ON THE USAGE OF VIRTUAL ASSETS (VA) AND VIRTUAL ASSET SERVICE PROVIDERS (VASP) IN THE CARIBBEAN REGION – MONEY LAUNDERING & TERRORISM FINANCING RISKS

On 27 January, FATF-style regional body CFATF released a report.  During the period December 2021 to December 2022, it conducted a survey on the usage of virtual assets and VASP in the Caribbean Region. The survey was aimed, in part, at examining how VA function, integrate and contribute to the financial sector in the Caribbean region and to gain an understanding of how the inherent risks posed are mitigated by the financial and corporate sector when providing VA services.  The result of the survey is contained in a report, which provides recommendations on the steps countries can take to enable and bolster the infrastructure needed to support actions aimed at mitigating the risk associated with VA and VASP.
