Khin Naing Oo leads Myanmar delegation at Paris financial watchdog meeting

Myanmar’s Central Bank Governor Khin Naing Oo headed the country’s delegation to a Financial Action Task Force (FATF) plenary meeting in Paris, according to reports. The gathering took place from October 26 to 30, 2026, and brought together representatives of the international financial watchdog’s member countries. The meeting put Myanmar’s progress on its FATF action plan in the spotlight. According to the report, the country has completed 13 of the 15 measures set out in the plan. Two requirements remain, and the FATF called for Myanmar to finish them and take effective steps against online scams and illicit financial flows. The FATF’s public statement, issued on October 30, also urged member countries to make it easier to deliver humanitarian assistance to Myanmar and to facilitate remittances sent by Myanmar workers living abroad. Those issues formed part of the wider discussion surrounding the country’s position and obligations. Khin Naing Oo led discussions about Myanmar’s efforts during the Paris meeting. The account says those efforts received supportive comments from major FATF member countries, though it does not identify the countries or provide further detail about their remarks. The trip placed the central bank governor at the head of a delegation dealing with financial standards, international cooperation and the outstanding steps in Myanmar’s action plan. The report describes the meeting and the calls made in the FATF statement, but does not offer additional detail on what measures Myanmar intends to take next.
