Malaysia's measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing

The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) and the FATF completed a Mutual Evaluation of Malaysia - full report

Overall, Malaysia has a robust legal AML/CFT framework with generally well-developed and implemented policies.

Malaysia is an observer to FATF and is working with the FATF to meet . In line with these criteria, Malaysia must bring its level of compliance up to a satisfactory level. To strengthen its AML/CFT framework, it needs to take a number of actions, such as further risk assessments of terrorist financing and foreign sources threats, a greater focus on obtaining  convictions and confiscation and better use of financial intelligence by law enforcement agencies.
