Our Country Ratings tool is a composite index, meaning it provides a simplified comparison of countries’ risks of ML/TF based on a number of relevant data sources.
Each country's risk score is calculated from those data sources and does not represent any opinion of KnowYourCountry except where data is unavailable and we have taken a subjective view dependent upon the other levels of risk for that particular country.
The scores summarize a complex and multi-dimensional issue, and it is meant to be used only as a guide when assessing Country ML/TF risk. For a more thorough understanding of where exactly the risks lie, or to verify overall scores, users should look at the Country AML profiles/reports provided in our website and membership area, or visit the data source websites for further information.
