Summary

Iceland’s banking sector is comparatively small, and the geographical reach of cross-border payments activity is limited. This limited payments’ activity is also well explained by the economic fundamentals (e.g., foreign trade, direct investments) which reduces the overall inherent money laundering (ML) risk exposure.1 In addition, Iceland has minimal flows with countries at high ML risks (as identified by authorities), low levels of outlier cross-border payments, and low levels of financial flows insufficiently explained by the economic fundamentals.
