The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) has published its first single programming document (SPD) for 2026-2028, setting out its strategic priorities and providing transparency on AMLA's timelines as it transitions to full operational capacity. AMLA's key objectives include finalising the Single Rulebook, driving supervisory convergence and enhancing cooperation between Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). These are translated into five workstreams that will shape AMLA's work in 2026, including delivering regulatory mandates, advancing direct supervision, operationalising the FIU framework, preparing the foundations for indirect supervision and oversight, and developing AMLA's risk frameworks. The SPD also provides a digital roadmap for 2026-2028 which focuses on three priorities including building state-of-the-art digital solutions, taking over and modernising mission-critical systems, and positioning AMLA as a leader in data analytics and innovation. AMLA also seeks to systematically integrate AI in the development of all its operations. AMLA has separately published an explainer of the SPD and a list of 2026 mandates.
