Report on evolving trends in CTF risks published by CTED

The report highlights key trends and changes in the financing of foreign terrorism in the past decade.

Key trends identified include:

• The decentralisation of terrorist groups and their methods of financing, making detection and intervention increasingly challenging;
• The potential abuse of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning by terrorist groups to optimise evade detection; and
• The increased mixing of traditional and new terrorist financing typologies, such as combining virtual asset fundraising and cash couriers.

💡 Firms can review and consider the report to remain informed of new and ongoing counter-terrorist financing (CTF) risks.
