Description:
"The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) issued a press release November 3 calling upon its members to enhance surveillance and reporting of financial transactions involving Burma because of that country?s continued failure to take effective action against money laundering.
The FATF identified Burma as a non-cooperative country or territory (NCCT) in the fight against money laundering in June of 2001.
Since that time, Burma "has still not addressed major deficiencies in its anti-money laundering regime," the FATF said in the press release. In particular, Burma has failed "to establish a framework to engage in effective international cooperation in the fight against money laundering, and its anti-money laundering law continues to lack the implementing regulations necessary to make it enforceable."
The FATF said that it will review the situation in Burma at its next plenary meeting in February of 2004..."

Description:
"Burma?s economic miseries are compounded by its collapsing banking sector and the military government?s lack of transparency, as well as its half-hearted efforts to eliminate illegal financial transactions in Burma. International governments and independent financial task forces have condemned Burma for failing to meet international standards in combating money laundering. Drug money is widely suspected of keeping Burma?s struggling economy afloat.
Below is a chronology of events concerning money laundering in Burma and the full text of the laws enacted by Burma?s military junta, which first appeared in the state-run daily, the New Light of Myanmar, in December 05, 2003 and June 17, 2002..."

Money laundering generally involves a series of multiple transactions used to disguise the source of financial assets so that those assets may be used without compromising the criminals who are seeking to use the funds. Through money laundering, the criminal tries to transform the monetary proceeds derived from illicit activities into funds with an apparently legal source..."
