Abstract

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has experienced a marked increase in regulatory scrutiny related to anti-money laundering practices and the enforcement of corresponding actions. The APAC region is home to some of the world’s most advanced financial markets, particularly in nations such as Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong. The rapid growth of the fintech industry in many countries across the region has outpaced the development of regulatory measures, posing further challenges for AML compliance. In addition, the rapid expansion of cryptocurrency and fintech innovations has introduced new complexities to AML enforcement. This review focuses on the challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed within the regulatory frameworks of many countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
