BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, March 24. Kyrgyzstan’s
Cabinet of Ministers has submitted for public discussion a draft
resolution approving an action plan to mitigate identified risks of
financing criminal activity and money laundering for 2026, Trend reports via the
document.
The draft has been developed in line with Article 11 of the
country’s law on countering the financing of criminal activity and
the legalization (laundering) of criminal proceeds, as well as in
accordance with the procedure for conducting risk assessments
approved by the Cabinet of Ministers in November 2025.
The main objective of the document is to approve a set of urgent
state response measures aimed at eliminating vulnerabilities and
minimizing threats identified during the National Risk Assessment
for 2022–2024. The plan is also designed to establish an effective
risk-based approach ahead of the upcoming round of mutual
evaluation of Kyrgyzstan’s anti-money laundering and
counter-terrorism financing system by the Eurasian Group (EAG).
Under the draft, ministries, state committees, and other
executive authorities are instructed to ensure timely and full
implementation of the planned measures and to submit quarterly
progress reports to the country’s financial intelligence body.
The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan is recommended to ensure the
implementation of the plan and report within the established
timeframe. Meanwhile, the State Financial Intelligence Service
under the Ministry of Finance will be responsible for monitoring
and coordinating the plan’s execution, as well as reporting on its
progress to the Presidential Administration and the relevant
commission on a semi-annual and annual basis.
