ID 21927

The Hong Kong government has published a press release in which it welcomes the „FATF adoption of Hong Kong’s AML and CFT follow-up report“ (please see Event ID 19675 in this context for the FATF publication).
The government notes that the FATF report reaffirms that Hong Kong’s current AML and CFT regime is „compliant and effective overall“ making it the first jurisdiction to achieve this status in Asia. The latest FATF evaluation encompassed the assessment of Hong Kong’s AML and CFT supervisory practices regarding „non-financial business and profession sectors, in particular trust or company service providers, real estate agents and accountants“. Also assessed were Hong Kong’s supervisory practices regarding virtual asset service providers and precious metal dealers with respect to AML and CFT.
