On July 15, 2026, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) published its Annual Report 2025. The report provides an overview of AMLA's institutional development and progress made throughout 2025 across its core responsibilities. These include developing the EU Single Rulebook for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF), strengthening AML/CTF supervision across member states and supporting cooperation between financial intelligence units (FIU). The consolidated report documents AMLA's efforts to establish itself as the EU's central authority for combating financial crime and money laundering risks across the bloc's financial system. The first planning cycle was initiated during the year. The Work Programme 2025 structured AMLA’s immediate priorities for its foundational year, including governance, recruitment, digital infrastructure, operational readiness and preparatory supervisory and FIU work. Substantive work also started across AMLA’s core mandate. AMLA began work on the Single Rulebook and supervisory convergence, sent two regulatory instruments to the European Commission for adoption and launched its first public consultation in December 2025. The two regulatory technical standards sent to the European Commission concerned the first common methodology for assessing ML/TF risks in the financial sector and the methodology for determining which entities AMLA will select for direct supervision. In parallel, AMLA launched a public consultation on the draft implementing technical standard setting out cooperation between AMLA and national financial supervisors during the selection process and the transfer of supervisory powers. These instruments supported the preparation of AMLA’s future direct supervisory role.
