New financial and communication technologies offer a great
opportunity to improve the lives of people everywhere. For instance,
millions of impoverished people now have access to the financial system
through stored value cards or mobile phones. However, some are
concerned that governments are not always aware of these innovations in
their jurisdictions. This has prompted fear that fast-moving terrorist
groups could expand funding undetected. The fear has led some countries
to take a restrictive stance on the technologies' use, either by
outright prohibition or by placing unnecessary limitations that deter
market development. Authorities are therefore challenged to tackle the
double-sided nature of technological advancement: promoting security
and economic growth. New Technologies, New Risks? Innovation and
Countering the Financing of Terrorism explores how money flows via
these mediums, risks they pose, and how governments have mitigated the
risks.
