Money Laundering in Asia

Is your trade finance exposure leaving you vulnerable to hidden money laundering risks?

Trade-based money laundering (TBML) continues to be one of the most sophisticated threats to the integrity of the financial system. By disguising illicit funds within legitimate trade flows, criminals exploit the complexities of global supply chains and regulatory gaps, particularly in Asia, where trade finance volumes continue to grow rapidly.

In Asia Pacific, where trade finance volumes are projected to grow from USD 1.5 trillion in 2023 to USD 2.2 trillion by 2030, institutions face heightened exposure to TBML schemes.
Institutions need robust strategies to detect evolving risks such as vessel route anomalies, under- and over-invoicing, shell networks, and sanctions evasion.
