50. An assessment of TF risk will require a consideration of both cross-border risks and TF risks posed to specific sectors. The extent to which countries will need to assess the TF risks posed to specific sectors will depend to some extent on the materiality, TF awareness and geographic reach of certain sectors. The below paragraphs present some relevant information sources when assessing cross-border TF risks, TF risks within the banking and Money or Value Transfer Services (MVTS) sectors, and TF risks linked to exploitation of natural resources. These areas have been selected due to their prevalence in international TF typologies; however, the specific areas for increased focus will differ between jurisdictions.

Cross-border Terrorist Financing Risks

Relevant information sources [Notably, chapter 2 above also contains guidance and information sources relevant when assessing cross-border TF risks.]

51. An assessment of cross-border TF risks is typically integrated throughout the assessment of TF risk, rather than being a standalone exercise. Cross-border TF risks may relate to the physical transportation of funds or other assets into or outside a country to support terrorist activities (e.g. cross-border smuggling), the flow of funds, or goods into or out of the jurisdiction via the financial or trade sector, or the cross- border provision of material support (recruitment, training and facilitation).
