In November 2021, the APG membership considered and adopted the APG Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) of Vietnam.  The report is part of the APG’s third round of assessments and provides a comprehensive analysis of Vietnam’s level of compliance with the FATF 40 Recommendations and the level of effectiveness of its AML/CFT system. The Vietnam MER is the second APG MER to be adopted by the APG during a virtual plenary meeting.

The mutual evaluation onsite visit to Vietnam took place in November 2019 and the MER provides a snapshot of Vietnam’s system as at that date. The mutual evaluation of Vietnam was paused in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resuming in mid-2021.

The Mutual Evaluation Report of Vietnam is now available for download.
