What are the threats to financial systems, economies and good governance in the current geopolitical situation?

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Hamas attack on Israel, Israel’s response and the attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, the global economy continues to suffer strategic shocks. Technology and innovation such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cryptocurrencies and social media have been abused for fraud, misinformation and disinformation right through to influencing elections, with finance at the heart of the issues. This event will consider the threats and vulnerabilities from and responses to Illicit Finance from an Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Countering Terrorist Financing (CTF), Counter-Proliferation Finance (CPF) and wider Sanctions Evasion perspective. How do we make our financial systems, economies and societies more resilient in an age of such geopolitical uncertainty?

Refreshments will be provided beforehand and during the networking reception on conclusion of the panel discussions.
