Monetary policy, financial development and money laundering: International evidence
The role of monetary policy in combating money laundering is underexplored. This study examines how central bank monetary instruments, financial development, and governance influence anti-money laundering (AML) effectiveness across 126 countries (2012–2022). Using macroeconomic theories, we analyze financial institutions’ trade-offs between AML compliance and profit-driven behaviors, such as exploiting high deposit rates. Key findings indicate: (1) broad money supply weakens AML effectiveness, especially post-2015 due to FinTech growth; (2) deposit rates, amplified by financial development, increase money laundering risks; (3) strong control of corruption enhances AML, particularly in less developed financial systems. These results, derived from OLS with robust standard errors and two-step system GMM, highlight the need to integrate AML objectives into monetary and financial policies through targeted measures, including interest rate monitoring, AI-driven transaction tracking, FATF cooperation, and governance reforms.
