MONEYVAL has continued its 5th round mutual evaluation of North Macedonia with a meeting between the assessment team and country’s authorities held on 15 to 17 March 2023 in Strasbourg (France). The meeting is organised approximately two months ahead of the Plenary, at which the report on the country’s implementation of the FATF Standards (MER) will be discussed and adopted. Amongst other things, the meeting discussed a draft of the MER and comments provided by expert third party reviewers. Final changes will now be made to the MER ahead of MONEYVAL’s 65th Plenary which will be held on 24 to 26 May 2023 in Strasbourg.
