Bangladesh' measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing

The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) completed its assessment of Bangladesh' anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) system. The assessment is a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of Bangladesh' AML/CFT system and its level of compliance with the FATF Recommendations. 

The report was formally adopted by at the APG Annual Meeting in September 2016.  The findings of this assessment have also been reviewed and endorsed by the FATF. 

Bangladesh has made significant progress since the last Mutual Evaluation Report in 2009, reflecting political commitment and leadership on AML/CFT. The levels of technical compliance with the 40 Recommendations are generally high, but levels of effectiveness across the 11 immediate outcomes are more mixed.
