Updating the Lists of High-Risk Countries on the AMLPC Website

The Saudi Central Bank’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Department (AMLPC) issued this circular to direct regulated financial institutions, designated non-financial businesses and professions, insurance entities, financing companies, and licensed money exchangers to continuously monitor the AMLPC website for updates to its high-risk country list. The circular mandates that these entities apply risk-based due diligence measures aligned with the newly designated high-risk countries, as required under Article 11 of the Anti-Money Laundering System. Regulated parties must enhance their internal risk identification processes by regularly accessing the official AMLPC portal via the provided web link.
