The Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) is an intergovernmental organization headquartered in Sydney, Australia, consisting of 42 member jurisdictions committed to combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes in the Asia-Pacific region.
Established in 1997 with 13 founding member jurisdictions, the APG has steadily grown in membership and influence over the years. Members include a diverse range of countries and territories, from Australia and New Zealand to China, India, and the United States.
The APG operates in close collaboration with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setting body for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures.
