AMLA - Data collection exercise to test risk assessment models for the financial sector
AMLA will launch a data collection exercise to test and calibrate its risk assessment models.
The exercise, set to start in March, is being conducted in close cooperation with national supervisors and the private sector. It represents a preparatory step towards AMLA’s direct supervision. The data collection will involve two groups of financial institutions: those that may be eligible for AMLA’s direct supervision, and a representative sample of entities likely to remain under national supervision. National supervisors have provided AMLA with lists of both groups, and AMLA has notified them of those selected to participate in this exercise.
Once the models have been fully tested and calibrated, AMLA will establish the final list of entities eligible for direct supervision. National supervisors will then collect data points from the identified eligible entities in early 2027, which will inform AMLA’s subsequent selection of the 40 directly supervised entities
