The IMF and the Fight Against Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism

September 30, 2012

Action to prevent and combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism thus responds not only to a moral imperative, but also to an economic need." – Min Zhu, Deputy Managing Director of the IMF
