The report highlights key trends and changes in the financing of foreign terrorism in the past decade.
Key trends identified include:
- The decentralisation of terrorist groups and their methods of financing, making detection and intervention increasingly challenging;
- The potential abuse of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning by terrorist groups to optimise evade detection; and
- The increased mixing of traditional and new terrorist financing typologies, such as combining virtual asset fundraising and cash couriers.
💡 Firms can review and consider the report to remain informed of new and ongoing counter-terrorist financing (CTF) risks.
