In July 2021, the APG membership considered and adopted the APG Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) of Tonga. The report is part of the APG’s third round of assessments and provides a comprehensive analysis of Tonga’s level of compliance with the FATF 40 Recommendations and the level of effectiveness of its AML/CFT system. The Tonga MER is the first APG MER to be adopted by the APG during a virtual plenary meeting.
The mutual evaluation of Tonga was paused in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resuming in early 2021. However, the onsite visit to Tonga took place in October-November 2019 and the MER provides a snapshot of Tonga’s system as at that date.
The Mutual Evaluation Report of Tonga is now available for download.
