Lao PDR's progress in strengthening measures to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing
Overall, Lao PDR has demonstrated progress in addressing the technical compliance deficiencies identified in its 2023 MER and 2024 FUR. However, this progress remains insufficient to warrant an upgrade of the rating for Recommendation 19.\r\n
In light of the progress made by Lao PDR since its MER was adopted, its technical compliance with the FATF Recommendations stands, as at 1 June 2025.
\r\nLao currently has 16 Recommendations rated Compliant/Largely Compliant.
