The Financial Information Unit (FIU) was established as a specialized agency in November 2006 within the structure of Bank of Mongolia in accordance with the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing.

The FIU has core functions, pursuant to the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, as follows:

• To receive financial reports on suspicious or unusual transactions as well as natural or legal persons from reporting entities such as banks and other financial institutions;
• To analyze collected information suspected of money laundering and terrorism financing; and
• To disseminate the outcome of analyses to the appropriate authorities if there are sufficient evidences and reasonable grounds to suspect.

Moreover, the FIU develops effective methodology for detecting suspicious transactions, provides for reporting entities with the results, supervises the compliance with the laws and regulations related to anti money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), and enhances public awareness to counter and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.

Mongolia ratified the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, the Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, the Convention against Corruption, and the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime which were adopted by the United Nations for the purpose of combating money laundering and terrorism financing. Accordingly, Mongolia has been carrying out an obligation to organize comprehensive operations to fight and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing in its territory under the above Conventions.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) sets standards to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, both at national and international level; and it requires its member and other countries to implement them. Since its establishment in 1989, the FATF issued several recommendations relating to fighting money laundering and the financing of terrorism and it revised the FATF 40+9 Recommendations in 2003. All these recommendations were issued in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolutions and Conventions. The FATF works to achieve its goals through monitoring and evaluating its members’ progress of AML/CFT, exchanging new methodologies and experiences, and collaborating with other international bodies such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and others.

In 2004, Mongolia joined the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), an international organization which has primary tasks of assessing implementation of FATF Recommendations and improving compliance of AML/CFT in the Asia/Pacific region. Since then, Mongolia has been participating actively in its operation. As a member of APG, Mongolia has an obligation to apply the FATF 40+9 Recommendations.

МӨНГӨ УГААХ, ТЕРРОРИЗМЫГ САНХҮҮЖҮҮЛЭХТЭЙ ТЭМЦЭХ ҮЙЛ АЖИЛЛАГААНЫ ТУХАЙ ТАНИЛЦУУЛГА

Олон улсын валютын сангийн 1996 онд хийсэн судалгаанаас үзвэл дэлхийн хэмжээнд нэг жилд 590 тэрбумаас 1.5 их наяд америк долларын хэмжээний бохир мөнгө угаагдаж байна. Энэ нь хамгийн багадаа Испанийн ДНБ-тэй тэнцүү хэмжээний мөнгө юм. Мөнгө угаасан бүх тохиолдлыг илрүүлээгүй учир энэ бол угаагдаж буй мөнгөний бодит хэмжээ биш, бодит байдал үүнээс ч их байж болох юм. Нэгдсэн Үндэсний Байгууллага үүнтэй холбогдуулж хэд хэдэн конвенц, тогтоолыг гаргасан. 1988 оны Хар тамхи, мансууруулах бодис хууль бусаар наймаалахын эсрэг Венийн конвенц, 2000 оны Үндэстэн дамнасан зохион байгуулалттай гэмт хэрэгтэй тэмцэх Палермогийн конвенц нь мөнгө угаахын эсрэг цогц арга хэмжээ авахыг гишүүн орнуудад уриалсан байдаг. Харин терроризм, түүнийг санхүүжүүлэхтэй тэмцэхтэй холбогдуулж 1999 онд Нэгдсэн Үндэсний Байгууллагаас Терроризмыг санхүүжүүлэхтэй тэмцэх конвенц, 1267, 1373 гэх мэт тогтоолыг гаргасан. Эдгээр тогтоол нь террорист байгууллага, этгээдийн хөрөнгийг хураах, тэдгээрийн нэр дээр хийгдэх гүйлгээг түдгэлзүүлэх гэх мэт арга хэмжээ авахыг НҮБ-ийн гишүүн орнуудад үүрэг болгосон. Манай улс эдгээр конвенц, тогтоолд нэгдэн орсон бөгөөд олон улсын өмнө мөнгө угаах, терроризмыг санхүүжүүлэхтэй тэмцэх үүрэг хүлээж байгаа юм.
