This briefing analyses the establishment of the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) as a cornerstone of the EU’s 2024 Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) legislative reform. As AMLA formally began its operations in the summer of 2025, a key question will be how effectively the Authority translates the new rulebook into consistent supervisory practice across the Union. The briefing examines how the new framework addresses long-standing regulatory fragmentation, enhances supervisory convergence, and strengthens the Union’s capacity to detect and prevent financial crime. It also explores AMLA’s institutional mandate, its interaction with national and EU authorities, and its potential evolution in a digitalised financial environment. Finally, it considers broader policy and geopolitical implications, assessing how AMLA may contribute to a more integrated and resilient European financial system.
