USAID/Jordan and the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC) requested the AMIR Program to conduct an assessment of the regulatory framework for combating money laundering and terrorist financing ("anti-money laundering" or "AML") in Jordan and to provide specific recommendations for the Jordanian capital markets. In response to this request, the AMIR Program asked NASD to assist the JSC in formulating an AML program for the capital markets. The NASD team conducted an assessment of regulatory framework for anti-money laundering in Jordan, and found that much is being done already in the AML area, particularly in the banking sector. Moreover, once Parliament adopts draft legislation, currently under consideration, Jordan will have a statutory regime in line with international AML standards. In this report, NASD sets forth its assessment of Jordan's AML framework and recommends that the JSC require that licensed companies put in place appropriate AML procedures and training.
