Timor Leste is developing its anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism system and is in the process of completing the drafting of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism laws which it expects to introduce in Parliament shortly.

Although Timor Leste has not yet established a Financial Intelligence Unit it has developed a system for reporting suspicious transactions to the Banking Payments Authority of Timor Leste.

Timor Leste became a member of the APG in July 2008 and had a mutual evaluation in 2012.
