Supplementary notes

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.

Still, other Central American countries such as Panama and Honduras had a higher risk of money laundering and terrorist financing than Guatemala.

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.
