Supplementary notes

* According to the source, this country was not yet assessed with the fourth-round FATF methodology, limiting comparability.
This statistic was compiled using earlier editions of the report.

Risk scores are based on data from publicly available sources such as the FATF, Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum.

The source measured the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing by using several indicators, such as rule of law and financial regulations. It is explicitly stated that there is no reliable quantitative data on money laundering available, and the index score is used to "indicate the risk level, i.e. the vulnerabilities of money laundering and terrorist financing within a country". The higher the number, the higher the risk.

The source did not release information about 2022.

In 2024, Paraguay registered an index score of five for money laundering and terrorist financing risk, down from 5.07 the previous year. Since at least 2017, this South American country's risk index has been on a downward trend. The South American country is ranked as one of the countries with the lowest risk index of money laundering and terrorist financing in Latin America.

The Basel AML Index is a composite index, a combination of 16 different indicators with regards to corruption, financial standards, political disclosure and rule of law and tries to measure the risk level of money laundering and terrorist financing in different countries. The numbers used are based on publicly available sources such as the FATF, Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum and are meant to serve as a starting point for further investigation.
