I. PRESENTATION Criminal organizations dedicated to ML/TF expand crossing borders of countries and continents and use high levels of sophistication and technology. To face these advances, it is fundamental to articulate the efforts of all State actors responsible for preventing and combating such illicit activities. Thus, having a National Plan constitutes a vital planning instrument to implement actions in the short and medium term. For this reason, in 2011, and based on the ML/TF risks identified in 2010, through Supreme Decree No. 057-2011-PCM, the National Plan to Fight Money Laundering (ML) and Terrorist Financing (TF) was approved, creating CONTRALAFT, with the main responsibility of monitoring its implementation. In 2016, and taking as reference the 40 Recommendations of the FATF, a new ML/TF risk assessment was carried out, which identified the current threats and risks facing the country in this area. Based mainly on this new diagnosis, the first National Policy against ML/TF was elaborated; as a long-term strategic instrument - approved through Supreme Decree No. 018-2017-JUS -; and, from this framework, the present National Plan has been developed to guarantee its implementation in the short and medium term; thus giving continuity to the path started in 2011. The present National Plan, approved after a participatory process (January - October 2017) by the member entities of CONTRALAFT (Agreement No. 08-2017-CONTRALAFT) defines in a temporal scenario, specific objectives, concrete actions, those responsible for its implementation and measurement indicators. There is no doubt that compliance with our obligations to prevent and combat ML/TF, whether as officials, obligated subjects or in our condition as citizens, will prevent crime from continuing to use the formal system to mobilize its assets; but above all it will contribute to creating a culture of legality necessary to strengthen economic, political and social stability. I conclude this presentation transmitting our gratitude to the German Cooperation implemented by GIZ, whose technical and financial support was fundamental for this process. Lima, January 2018 Juan Teodoro Falconí Galvez Vice Minister of Justice President of CONTRALAFT

II. BACKGROUND On July 1, 2011, through Supreme Decree No. 057-2011-PCM, the National Plan to Fight Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing was approved, which was elaborated in a participatory manner between 21 institutions of the State and an equal number of entities from the private sector; an inter-institutional effort led by the SBS, with the technical assistance of the IMF. This Plan was based on the analysis of the main threats and vulnerabilities in terms of ML/TF that Peru faced at that time, which allowed this instrument to address such vulnerabilities (among structural and functional), in order to mitigate the risk of ML/TF. The definition of objectives and actions was based on the functional vulnerabilities identified for each of the constituent components (prevention, detection and criminal repression). In general terms, the National Plan was implemented almost in its entirety; given that, with respect to the component of Strengthening the Prevention of ML/TF, 78% of the actions were fulfilled; with respect to the component of strengthening detection, 52% were fulfilled; and finally, with respect to the component of strengthening criminal repression, 58% were fulfilled. However, some actions remained pending to be addressed or completed, which have been evaluated within the framework of the new risks in terms of ML/TF that the country presents during the process of elaboration of the present National Plan.

III. DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK OF THE NATIONAL PLAN The present National Plan against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (hereinafter, National Plan), through which the path started in 2011 is continued, is configured as an element of short and medium-term planning, which develops within the scope of the first National Policy in the matter, whose proposal was approved by CONTRALAFT in March 2017 and by the Executive Power through Supreme Decree No. 018-2017-JUS, published on September 15 of the same year, in whose Only Complementary Final Provision it is established that: "Within a maximum period of ninety (90) calendar days following the publication of this norm, by Supreme Decree, proposed by CONTRALAFT, the National Plan against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing is approved, as an instrument for the implementation of the National Policy against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing".

On the framework of the National Policy that was approved by CONTRALAFT in March 2017, which is based mainly on the National Risk Assessment of ML/TF (2016), a participatory process was initiated for the elaboration of the present National Plan, in order to define in a temporal scenario, specific objectives, concrete actions, those responsible for its implementation and measurement indicators, taking into consideration as well those actions of the current National Plan pending implementation and that according to the new risk scenario detected, it was still necessary to address.

IV. PARTICIPATORY PROCESS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL PLAN The National Plan is the product of a participatory process in which various public entities have intervened, whose competencies are directly or indirectly circumscribed to the adoption of measures to counteract ML/TF. The methodology followed in the process of elaboration of the National Plan, coordinated by the SBS through UIF-Peru in its capacity as Technical Secretariat of CONTRALAFT, and which counted with the technical assistance of the German Development Cooperation implemented by GIZ, is based on three fundamental aspects: • The specific objectives and guidelines of the National Policy. • The conclusions and recommendations of the National Risk Assessment of ML/TF (2016) and the Sectoral Evaluations of Exposure to ML/TF Risks of the mining and fishing sectors (2016); and • The active participation of public bodies that play a fundamental role in the prevention, detection, investigation and sanction of ML/TF in the country (members or not of CONTRALAFT) in all stages of its elaboration. The stages through which the National Plan has been elaborated have been the following: STAGE I: CONSTITUTION OF WORK GROUPS Configured as the main channel of participation, through 21 entities of the State, the contributions and debates that have led to the drafting
