Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen Ahead of Roundtable with CEOs of German Banks in Frankfurt, Germany
US Department of the Treasury
"Today, I would like to hear from you on the risks you and your clients are facing—from spillovers from Russia’s war on Ukraine, to shifting dynamics in the trade relationship with China, to financial sector vulnerabilities in the region. Your insights are extremely valuable. I also want to focus our time together today on Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Specifically, I would like to discuss the Treasury Department’s actions on Russia sanctions and the crucial importance of the financial sector’s efforts to comply with and implement them. Our discussion today is timely given positive recent developments within Germany and across the EU to build European anti-money laundering and sanctions institutions, including efforts underway to establish a new German Federal Financial Crime Agency and a new EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority."

In Boston, Treasury Launches New Public-Private FinCEN Exchange Series to Fight Fentanyl Trafficking
FinCEN
PROTECT FinCEN Exchange sessions set to promote public-private collaboration against illicit financial activity tied to the opioid tradeBOSTON—Today, as part of the Treasury Department’s Counter-Fentanyl Strike Force, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), in partnership with IRS Criminal Investigation (CI), announced a new initiative to combat the illicit trafficking of fentanyl into the United States. The “Promoting Regional Outreach to Educate Communities on the Threat of Fentanyl” (or PROTECT) series of FinCEN Exchange sessions will be held through the remainder of 2024 in U.S. cities that are highly impacted by the opioid epidemic. The series is specifically designed to work with regional and local banks who are deeply connected to their communities and offer unique perspectives on the opioid crisis, and will focus on how law enforcement can best support their efforts to monitor activity that may be tied to the illicit trafficking of fentanyl. At these exchanges, federal officials brief on information critical to tracking these illicit financial flows, including typologies and red-flag indicators of fentanyl-related activity, and discuss what types of information are particularly valuable when financial institutions report suspicious activity.
