8 Adoption of PNG s MER PNG s MER was adopted in July National Coordination Committee (NCC) was formed with various key heads of Dept. as members of the NCC by virtue of NEC Decision NG 150/2012 on 13 December Technical Working Group (TWG) was established to ensure the recommendations are implemented. Started with 15 agencies, now 18 agencies. Governor of BPNG and Secretary of DJAG are Co-chairs supported by Secretariat.
9 ICRG Process Lack of progress/compliance within a reasonable timeframe between Prima facie and targeted review showed slow progress. PNG was subjected to the ICRG (International Corporations Review Group) processes under FATF s review process. Grey list review for a period of 18 months February 2014 to August This meant that APG/FAFT member countries were be cautioned with their involvement/trade with PNG Sanctions maybe placed on PNG which may have wider economic implications for PNG.
10 ICGR Process In February 2014, Papua New Guinea made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and APG to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. Since June 2015, Papua New Guinea has taken steps towards improving its AML/CFT regime; include obtaining Parliamentary approval for a Criminal Code Amendment, an AML/CFT law, establishing a legal framework to require the freezing of terrorist assets and a cross-border declaration system.
11 ICGR Process In July 2015, PNG has obtained a Parliamentary approval for a suite of five (5) AML/CTF Bills to address all the AML/CFT deficiencies. In 4 th February 2016, the suite of five AML/CTF legislations were certified and gazetted. These suite of AML/CTF Acts includes; 1. Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Act 2015, 2. Criminal Code (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing)(Amendment) Act 2015, 3. Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters (Amendment) Act Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Act 2015 and 5. United Nations Financial Sanctions Act 2015.
12 FATF Grey list Process I. PNG was delisted in June 2016 I. PNG is regarded as the fastest reforming country in the Asia-Pacific on AML/CTF Technical Reform (effectiveness not yet assessed) II. Significant ongoing work on the implementation of AML/CTF reform is critical in the next 5 years
