The Superintendent of Banks of Panama, Milton Ayón Wong, presented the SBP’s 2025 report on advances in Anti–Money Laundering, the Financing of Terrorism, and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (AML/CFT/CFP), during the Expanded Meeting of the National Commission against Money Laundering (CNBC), a forum that brought together key stakeholders from Panama’s financial system.
During his remarks, the Superintendent highlighted SBP’s main achievements, including the implementation of the inspection cycle for reporting entities and other reporting entities, as well as the update of the Integrity Guidelines for the banking sector. These guidelines were developed jointly with the public and private sectors and the Inter-American Development Bank (BID for its acronym in Spanish). He also underscored the completion of the pilot program for account opening, aimed at strengthening sector competitiveness and enhancing customer experience.
The report further emphasized the ongoing training program for reporting entities and SBP staff, in addition to the institution’s active participation in working groups and specialized committees focused on the prevention of financial crimes and the strengthening of the country’s financial system.
Through these actions, SBP reaffirms its commitment to preventing money laundering and to strengthening a sound, transparent financial system aligned with international best practices.
