In the first phase of the “Action against economic crime in North Macedonia”, the European Union and the Council of Europe had been supporting institutions in strengthening legislative and policy framework on anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism. In 2019, the action contributed to updating the National Risk Assessment (NRA) and based on successful co-operation, this partnership in enabling better regulation of money laundering and financing of terrorism has continued in the second phase of the action.

The action is now contributing to the development of a new National Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Strategy. To this end, key representative of the Financial Intelligence Office, Council of Europe expert and the action team discussed and agreed, through a video conference, on the next steps in this direction. National Working Group will be formed to draft the new AML/CFT Strategy based on the findings of the updated NRA. The draft will be shared with the Council of Europe consultant for further comments and recommendations for finalisation.

The “Action against economic crime in North Macedonia” will also support beneficiaries in the revision of the AML/CFT law in line with the findings of the updated NRA.

This activity is organised within the joint programme of the European Union/Council of Europe “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022”.
