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

The Republic of Uzbekistan has demonstrated considerable progress in addressing the TC deficiencies identified in the MER.

Considering the progress of the Republic of Uzbekistan in improving the national AML/CFT system after the approval of the MER, the TC ratings under the FATF Recommendations have been upgraded as follows:

• Recommendation 6 was upgraded from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant
• Recommendation 7 was upgraded from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant
• Rommendation 22 was upgraded from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant

Therefore, the Republic of Uzbekistan is transferred from enhanced to regular follow-up and will report on further progress on improvement of the national AML/CFT/PF system at the 44th EAG Plenary.
