Singapore boosts AML efforts with national asset recovery plan

The plan will focus on four pillars.

Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong unveiled Singapore’s National Asset Recovery Strategy, which will enhance the government’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regime.

The strategy focuses on four pillars for a multifaceted approach: to detect suspicious and criminal activities by tracing the illicit funds, to deprive criminals of their ill-gotten proceeds through prompt seizure and confiscation, to deliver maximum recovery of assets for forfeiture and restitution to victims, and to deter criminals from using Singapore to hide, move, or enjoy their illicit assets.

The government will implement the strategy through upstream loss prevention efforts and a whole-of-society approach.

The government has also strengthened partnerships with international counterparts and community and private sector stakeholders, including the Singapore Police Force’s Anti-Scam Command and the local banks.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
