Kyrgyzstan Makes Strides in Financial Inclusion, Anti-Money Laundering Measures Amid Enhanced Monitoring

======================================================

Kyrgyzstan has made significant progress in addressing technical compliance shortcomings identified during its 2020 mutual evaluation. As a result, two key recommendations have been re-rated.

Recommendations Upgraded

• Recommendation 8: Upgraded from partially compliant to largely compliant
• Recommendation 15: Also upgraded from partially compliant to largely compliant

Enhanced Monitoring Continues

Despite this progress, Kyrgyzstan remains under enhanced monitoring by international authorities. The country will continue to report to the Eurasian Group (EAG) on its future efforts to improve its anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) system.

Purpose of Enhanced Monitoring

The enhanced monitoring is aimed at ensuring that Kyrgyzstan’s AML/CFT framework meets international standards and effectively prevents financial crimes. This will help to maintain a safe and stable financial environment for both domestic and foreign investors.
