  • Singapore’s measures to counter money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing

    FATF

    The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) mutual evaluation of Singapore assessed the effectiveness of the country’s anti-money laundering, countering terrorist financing and proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) measures, and their level of compliance with the FATF Recommendations, at the time of an on-site visit in July 2025.
