For the purpose of implementing the provisions of Law No. 308/2017 on the prevention and combating of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as Parliament Decision No. 239/2020 approving the National Strategy in the field for 2020–2025, the National Risk Assessment Report on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing has been approved.

This process, carried out by national authorities, represents an update to the Risk Assessment Report approved in 2017 and aims to highlight the threats and vulnerabilities present in the national system for preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

It is worth noting that, in conducting this complex process, the recommendations of the Moneyval Committee experts of the Council of Europe were taken into account, as outlined in the Republic of Moldova’s report during the fifth round of evaluation of its national system for preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The identification, assessment, and understanding of these risks are essential for implementing and developing an effective national system to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. This process contributes to the prioritization and efficient allocation of resources by both competent public authorities and reporting entities, ensuring the proportional application of mitigation measures in line with the identified risks.
