The stability of the financial market in the face of money laundering

Abstract

Since the 1990s, anti-money laundering agencies have been tasked with tracking down criminals and confiscating the proceeds of crime. But with the development of new payment methods, including virtual digital currency, these agencies have found themselves obliged to report all kinds of unexpected or suspected transactions and assist the authorities in their investigations.

The content of this article takes into consideration the instability of the foreign exchange market and deals with the possibilities that can help foreign exchange companies to minimise the risks of money laundering through the synthesis of some real situations and examples, through the recommendations dictated by the relevant authorities and finally through the legislative and regulatory texts put into force. 

Our research is intended to be exploratory and comprehensive, with the aim of proposing a reading guide that sheds light on the stability of the financial market in the face of money laundering, as well as the possibilities for minimising the risks of instability via money laundering indicators.
