In 2009, Mongolia became a member of the Egmont Group, a united body of FIUs from 177 jurisdictions worldwide. The Egmont Group facilitates and promotes the exchange of information, knowledge, and cooperation and provides technical assistance among member FIUs to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. It is crucial for Egmont Group member organizations to effectively exchange information and cooperate with foreign FIUs that perform similar functions in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, thereby making a valuable contribution to the investigation and recovery of such crimes.
In compliance with the FATF Recommendations and the Principles for Information Exchange Between Financial Intelligence Units, the FIU-Mongolia exchanges information with foreign FIUs that are members of the Egmont Group.
