Progress Made by Mongolia

Mongolia has made significant progress in recent years in implementing international standards for combating financial crime. However, there is still more work to be done to ensure that the country’s laws and regulations are fully compliant with global requirements.

International Support

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an inter-governmental body that sets global standards for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, has been monitoring Mongolia’s progress in this area. The FATF noted that while Mongolia had made significant improvements, there were still some areas where the country needed to make further efforts.

Government Commitment

The Mongolian government is committed to working with international partners, including the FATF, to ensure that the country’s financial system is fully compliant with global standards.
