• Curb terrorism financing: The act restricts and monitors financial activities to prevent the funding of terrorist groups and activities.

• Regulate proceeds of unlawful activities: It covers a wide range of illegal activities, from drug trafficking and corruption to fraud and tax evasion, ensuring that profits from such crimes are confiscated and not reintegrated into the legitimate economy.
