This mutual evaluation assesses technical compliance with the FATF international standards, but also the effectiveness of the jurisdiction’s AML/CFT measures as measured against the 2013 FATF assessment methodology.
The UFA team held meetings with government authorities and representatives from the private sector to gain a detailed understanding of the framework and levels of effectiveness of Myanmar’s AML/CFT regime.
The evaluation team acknowledges the cooperation and assistance of the Myanmar authorities, and the hospitality extended to the team during the onsite visit.
Myanmar’s mutual evaluation report will be considered at the next UFA Annual Meeting in July 2018 and adopted in September 2018.
