The publication of Latvia’s evaluation report postponed

The MONEYVAL Secretariat has informed that the initially planned publication date of the report (9 December) has been postponed until further notice. The decision was taken based on comments submitted by two FATF members, which are expected to be discussed at the FATF Plenary in February 2026.

The change in the publication timeline is not related to Latvia’s actions or the information provided, but arises from MONEYVAL and FATF evaluation procedures.
