Samoa's progress in strengthening measures to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing

In accordance with the APG Third Round Mutual Evaluation Procedures, Samoa submitted its second follow-up report in January 2017 and requested re-ratings for two Recommendations. The review team concluded in October 2017 that sufficient progress had been made on R.2 to upgrade Samoa to largely compliant LC. Deficiencies remained however in relation to R.36, including that Samoa is not a party to the Merida Convention, and the review team concluded that sufficient progress had not been made to upgrade Samoa to LC for this recommendation.
