Mexico

Mexico has a mature AML/CFT regime, with a correspondingly well-developed legal and institutional framework. There has been a significant improvement in some areas of the country’s AML/CFT regime compared to that which existed when the country was last assessed in 2008. It is nonetheless confronted with a significant risk of money laundering (ML) stemming principally from activities most often associated with organized crime, such as drug trafficking, extortion, corruption and tax evasion.
