Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG)

The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) is a regional organization that promotes effective measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing in Asia-Pacific countries. Comprising member jurisdictions, the APG offers guidance, conducts assessments, and encourages cooperation among nations to strengthen their legal and regulatory frameworks. Its goal is to prevent criminals from disguising illicit funds as legitimate, thereby enhancing financial integrity and security in the region. The APG also collaborates with international organizations to align standards and share best practices in financial crime prevention.
