OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan co-organizes workshop on countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism

Countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism was the focus of a workshop for regulators and policymakers organized by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan with the co-operation of the Department on Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan and the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG) from 11 to 14 December 2018 in Tashkent.

Some 60 participants (of which around ten were female) took part in the workshop, which aimed at preparing them for the second round of mutual evaluations by the EAG; a process where regional peers evaluate each other’s compliance with international standards in this sphere.

The OSCE Project Co-ordinator’s support to the workshop is part of its ongoing efforts in assisting the government of Uzbekistan in countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
