IMF NBU AML

The NBU will continue to conduct at least four quarterly inspections of banks at higher risk of laundering of the proceeds of corruption, focused on regulatory requirements related to customer due diligence and PEPs, including with regard to requirements to identify PEPs, to verify their source of wealth and beneficial ownership information. By end-January 2019, the NBU, with technical assistance from the IMF, will also prepare a roadmap to focus AML/CFT supervision on ensuring the adequacy of financial institutions’ AML/CFT framework, and discontinue investigative functions.
