Myanmar

Myanmar has made some good progress to address the deficiencies identified in the MER. However, moderate deficiencies remain.

The country has been re-rated on three Recommendations.

  • Recommendations 22 and 23 are re-rated from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant
  • Recommendation 19 is re-rated from Partially Compliant to Compliant

Myanmar will remain in enhanced (expedited) follow-up, and will continue to report back to the APG on progress to strengthen its implementation of AML/CFT measures. Myanmar’s next progress report is due 1 February 2022.
