National Risk Assessment - Money laundering and Terrorist Financing

Ireland produced its first AML/CFT National Risk Assessment (NRA) in 2016, then updated it fully in 2019. The NRA provides a broad assessment of Ireland’s Money Laundering/Terrorist Financing (ML/TF) risks, to enhance the understanding of them and to develop effective strategies to address them.

A number of sector-specific ML/TF risk assessments have also been conducted. These generally examine an emerging risk or facilitate greater understanding of a specific sector of the economy. Four sector-specific risk assessments have been produced to date:

• the gambling sector, in 2018
• new technologies, in 2019
• legal persons and legal arrangements, in 2020
• Trust or Company Service Providers, in 2022
