The National Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan’s Financial Monitoring Department reported that the country’s standing interagency commission approved a money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risk assessment for virtual assets. The commission also approved an action plan to address deficiencies and reduce risks identified in the assessment of legal persons and legal arrangements, as Tajikistan prepares for its third mutual evaluation, which runs through 2027. Tajikistan submitted its technical compliance questionnaire against the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations to the Eurasian Group Secretariat on Aug. 3, 2026. Relevant authorities were instructed to submit an effectiveness questionnaire covering the FATF’s 11 Immediate Outcomes, together with statistical data, by October 2026, and to continue coordinating with the Financial Monitoring Department ahead of virtual and in-person meetings with assessors.
