The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made an assessment of the potential implications for her policies of changes in Montenegro's money laundering legislation.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

The Government is committed to protecting the UK’s financial system and identifying risks to our system. The National Risk Assessment for money laundering and terrorist financing was published in July 2025 and assessed international risks the UK faces, including risks linked to the Western Balkan region.

The National Risk Assessment provides up-to-date risk information to enable the UK public and private sector to respond to evolving threats. The Government intends to develop a new public-private strategy focused on anti-money laundering and asset recovery in the coming months to respond to the risks identified.
