The Supreme People’s Procuracy is responsible for collecting information related to 17 crimes stated in the national risk assessment report on money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Deputy PM asked the Ministry of Finance to update and provide data on tax evasion and confiscation of money, assets and cross-border transfer tools at the request of the APG evaluation group, as well as typical cases of international cooperation with foreign inspection and supervision agencies in casino and securities.

According to State Bank of Vietnam Governor Le Minh Hung, Vietnam is scheduled to have a meeting with the APG evaluation group in April 2020 and defend its report at the annual APG meeting in July.
