Country Data Quality expresses our confidence in the coverage and reliability of the data available to assess a country’s exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing. This metric is quantitatively measured by the proportion of AML indicators available for each country within the model.

Countries are classified into five categories: Very Good, Good, Medium, Poor, and Very Poor, based on the percentage of available indicators. Each category is paired with a corresponding coverage statement: Very Good Coverage, Good Coverage, Moderate Coverage, Limited Coverage, or Very Limited Coverage.

If a country has less than 30 percent of indicators available, it is assigned a “Not Available” classification, indicating

insufficient data to produce a meaningful risk score. This approach ensures that only countries with adequate data coverage are included in the AML risk assessment.
