Paris, 17 July 2025 ­– The FATF will hold two webinars this month to help strengthen global understanding across the public and private sectors of risks and vulnerabilities connected to terrorist financing and proliferation financing, aiming to improve responses to these evolving threats.

The online sessions will delve into recently published reports from the FATF which draw on case studies from across its Global Network of more than 200 jurisdictions.

The report, Comprehensive Update on Terrorist Financing Risks, revealed terrorists’ persistent ability to exploit the international financial system to support their activities and carry out attacks.

In a webinar on Tuesday 22 July, experts from across the Global Network will discuss factors influencing the nature of terrorism risks, key terrorist financing methods and trends – from traditional to online, evolving tactics and use of combined methods, as well as anticipated future developments in terrorist financing.

The second webinar on Tuesday 29 July will discuss threats and vulnerabilities related to proliferation financing and sanctions evasion schemes. This will explore the FATF’s report on Complex Proliferation Financing and Sanctions Evasion Schemes which revealed that significant vulnerabilities remain across the global financial system in countering the financing of weapons of mass destruction.

An international panel of specialists from the public and private sectors will present key findings of the recent FATF report, outlining common challenges and good practices. They will discuss the report’s practical risk indicators which aim to help competent authorities and the private sector detect evasion.
