On August 21, 2026, the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus registered a memorandum of understanding between the Financial Monitoring Department of the State Control Committee of the Republic of Belarus and the Indonesian Centre for Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis (PPATK). The memorandum, signed on July 2, 2026, establishes a framework for cooperation on the exchange of financial information related to money laundering, terrorism financing, and the financing of weapons of mass destruction proliferation. The agreement formalises bilateral collaboration between Belarus's financial intelligence unit and Indonesia's equivalent authority to enhance mutual understanding and coordinate efforts in combating financial crimes and illicit financial flows. The memorandum was registered in the National Registry of Legal Acts of the Republic of Belarus under registration number 12-1/4303. This registration signifies the formal recognition and entry into force of the bilateral agreement within Belarus's legal framework. The cooperation framework enables both jurisdictions to share relevant financial intelligence and coordinate investigations into cross-border financial crimes, strengthening their respective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regimes. Such bilateral memoranda of understanding are standard instruments for establishing operational cooperation between financial intelligence units and represent Belarus's commitment to international standards in combating financial crime and terrorism financing.
