- Abstract
The rapid advancement of financial technology has introduced increased complexity into the global landscape of anti-money laundering. This study seeks to examine the influence of a country’s financial technology development on money laundering risks, and whether such impact varies between developing and developed countries. To support our research, we collected data from a sample of 20 economies spanning the time frame of 2012 to 2022, and employed principal component analysis and lagged variables within a multiple linear regression framework. The results indicate that the development of financial technology initially increases money laundering risks in the short term but eventually leads to a reduction in these risks in the long term. Furthermore, this effect is more pronounced in developing countries compared to developed countries. These findings contribute novel insights to the research exploring the role of financial technology in the realm of anti-money laundering.
