AML laws in Nepal are developing and the country is taking steps to move towards a stronger framework for AML/CFT regulation.

The 3rd Annual AML Summit in Nepal, in association with the National Banking Institute (NBI), will provide a fillip to the existing dialogue in the country towards leveraging the strengths and recognising improvement areas in Nepal’s AML/CFT regime through knowledge sharing on latest tools, techniques, processes and technologies.

The tone for the day will be set by a keynote address from the Nepal Rastra Bank and will consist of presentations and panel discussions involving compliance officers from leading banks in Nepal.
