RBI Governor Urges Stronger Measures Against Money Laundering, Terror Financing

Dhruva Kulkarni

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra on 26th March stressed the need to strengthen India’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) measures.  

Speaking at the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) Private Sector Collaborative Forum, he highlighted India’s globally recognised efforts and the crucial role of private sector collaboration in financial security.  

While technology enhances business, he warned, it also enables advanced money laundering risks, requiring proactive measures.

Malhotra called for better data quality and the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Language), and blockchain to improve AML risk assessment and threat detection.  

He emphasised balancing security with inclusion, as over 90% of India’s adults now have bank accounts.  

The RBI will continue enhancing AML and CFT measures, improving KYC (Know Your Customer) and digital onboarding, and streamlining cross-border payments.

On Monday, CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s economic progress and welfare initiatives while marking eight years of the state’s NDA government.

He stated that the unemployment rate has dropped below 3% from 19% in 2016, while per capita income has risen from Rs 46,000 in 2017 to Rs 1,24,000.

India sees minimal impact from US trade policies, but risks persist: UBI Report

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s economy may avoid major fallout from US trade tensions due to its trade balance. Still, the final impact depends on upcoming trade negotiations, according to a Union Bank of India report.

While the economy remains resilient, currency fluctuations and liquidity conditions are being affected, prompting the RBI and government to take steps to maintain stability.

Key exports like automobiles, gems, steel, and pharmaceuticals remain vulnerable to tariff changes and restrictions.

In response to US protectionist policies, India may impose countermeasures, impacting sectors such as steel, solar energy, and food products.

Lower oil prices could support energy-dependent industries, but metal producers face challenges from global price fluctuations and trade uncertainties.

US economic uncertainty, driven by shifting trade policies, has led to weaker growth forecasts and rising inflation.

Market instability continues to affect global trade, with concerns over US recession risks and unpredictable policy decisions.
