The Cabinet has approved Sri Lanka’s National Policy on Preventing Money Laundering, Countering the Financing of Terrorism and Combating the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction for 2026–2030.

The policy was formulated based on the findings of the third National Risk Assessment on financial crimes conducted by the Financial Intelligence Unit of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka during 2024/25.

The assessment was carried out in line with standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to identify and manage risks linked to money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes.
