AMLA arrives: 1 July impact on EU financial crime supervision

The European Union's new Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will begin operations on 1 July 2025. While the launch marks the end of years of legislative groundwork, says Enrico Aresu of Moody's, it also sets in motion a gradual shift in how financial crime supervision is approached across the EU, particularly for those firms under its direct remit, and potentially beyond.
