The National Bank of Cambodia is strengthening efforts to combat money laundering, cross-border financial crime and terrorism financing.
Cambodia.- Authorities in Cambodia are hoping to avoid being placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list for a third time.The Cambodia China Times reported that the National Bank of Cambodia is stepping up efforts to combat money laundering, cross-border financial crime and terrorism financing, with illegal online gambling platforms a central focus of enforcement activity.
Governor Chea Serey warned that being placed back on the grey list would undermine public confidence as well as domestic and foreign investor trust. She noted that concerns over telecom fraud have damaged Cambodia’s international reputation, with knock-on effects on tourism, investor sentiment and cross-border financial activity.
Speaking at the central bank’s annual work summary meeting, Serey said: “These activities, often run through offshore-style online gambling platforms and scam centres, have been linked to money laundering, large undeclared cash movements and cross-border payment abuse.”
In recent months, Cambodia has increased its efforts to combat illegal online gambling and scam operations. Last week, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reaffirmed its support for Cambodia’s crackdown on cyber-enabled fraud and related criminal networks. In a meeting in Phnom Penh, Dr. Rebecca Miller, UNODC Regional Coordinator for Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, praised the Royal Government’s “proactive measures” to dismantle cyber-scam hubs and pledged deeper cooperation to enhance enforcement and victim protection.
