On 4 February 2026, the EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) published its Single Programming Document for 2026-2028. The document is AMLA’s first multi-year plan, setting out priorities and timelines as it moves to delivery.

Among other things in 2026 AMLA will finalise the risk analysis and selection methodology which defines how obliged entities will be selected for direct supervision. AMLA will also develop harmonised approaches for indirect supervision through cooperation with Member State competent authorities.

From 2028, AMLA will directly supervise forty of the EU’s most impactful financial institutions, with the first selection process taking place in 2027.

“AMLA’s first Single Programming Document sets out our path to full operations, providing clarity for the market while we build an Authority that is technically excellent and grounded in cooperation,” said AMLA Chair Bruna Szego.
