Moldova’s Anti-Money Laundering Regulations Get Upgrade

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has re-rated the technical compliance of the Republic of Moldova with its anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) recommendations.

Progress in Implementing AML/CFT Measures

Moldova’s progress in implementing AML/CFT measures since the adoption of its Mutual Evaluation and 1st Follow-Up report has led to improvements in three key areas:

• Recommendations 6 and 7 have been upgraded from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant.
• Recommendation 15 has moved from Non-Compliant to Partially Compliant.

Remaining Challenges

However, six recommendations continue to remain at the Partially Compliant level:

• R.8
• R.15
• R.22
• R.24
• R.25
• R.38

Next Review and Progress Report

The next review of Moldova’s implementation of AML/CFT measures will take place within one year, when it is expected to submit a report detailing its progress in addressing any remaining weaknesses.

Timeline:

• One-year review of Moldova’s progress in implementing AML/CFT measures
• Expected submission of progress report by the Republic of Moldova
