Botswana Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing National Risk Assessment Report 2025
The Republic of Botswana, through its National Coordinating Office, issued this comprehensive National Risk Assessment to evaluate and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing exposures across its financial sector, designated non-financial businesses, and emerging sectors. The report identifies an overall Medium ML risk driven by tax crimes, corruption, and real estate vulnerabilities, alongside a Medium-to-low TF risk, while highlighting porous borders, cash-intensive financial inclusion products, and opaque legal structures as key exploitation channels. It mandates risk-based supervision, targeted policy calibration, and prioritized resource allocation to strengthen AML/CFT controls and prevent international grey listing.
