As a result of Slovenia’s progress in strengthening its framework to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing since the adoption of its mutual evaluation report in June 2017, MONEYVAL assessed the compliance of the country with the new requirements of the Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Slovenia was placed in an enhanced follow-up process, following the adoption of its mutual evaluation report, which assessed the effectiveness of its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) measures and their compliance with the FATF Recommendations. In line with MONEYVAL’s rules of procedure, the country has reported back to MONEYVAL on the progress it has made to strengthen its AML/CFT framework.
The follow-up report looks at progress made in the implementation of new requirements relating to Recommendation 2 (national cooperation and coordination) which has changed since Slovenia’s last follow-up report was adopted. The rating for Recommendation 2 (rated as “largely compliant”) remains unchanged.
Slovenia remains “compliant” on eleven of the 40 FATF Recommendations and “largely compliant” on nineteen of them. It remains “partially compliant” on ten of the 40 FATF Recommendations.
MONEYVAL decided that Slovenia will remain in the enhanced follow-up process and will continue to report back to MONEYVAL on further progress to strengthen its implementation of AML/CFT measures.
