Albania continues to remain on the gray list for money laundering.

The report of MoneyVal, the institution under the European Commission, shows that the country has made progress, but not enough to get off the list that puts the country at risk from the money laundering phenomenon.

Of the 40 criteria that MoneyVal uses to assess the money laundering framework in a country, Albania ranks as compliant in 6 of them. For 31 other criteria, the country is generally ranked in compliance, in 2 criteria the ranking is partially compliant, while 1 criterion was not evaluated. From the last report, the country has increased compliance in only two criteria: transparency and beneficial ownership of legal agreements and regulation and supervision of businesses and non-financial professions.

The country went down to the gray list in 2018 and since that period four monitoring reports have been made to see the progress as well as to leave concrete tasks to be implemented. So far some of the most important initiatives that the government has taken is the law on beneficial owners and the creation of a register for bank accounts.

Meanwhile, there is a new bill in parliament that aims to turn the Directorate of Prevention and Money Laundering into an agency under the Council of Ministers, giving it more powers. A new salary policy is also intended for the agency that will be formed, as the institution has noticed that 35% of job resignations were due to low salaries.

Meanwhile, the new law aims to give the agency new access to track transactions made in cryptocurrencies, as a new threat to our economy and an early recommendation from MoneyVal.
