Overview of country risks
Vietnam's deeper integration into the regional and
world's economy for the past few years has been a great
opportunity for international money laundering crimes. However,
money laundering activities only become clearly visible recently
though bank accounts opening, securities trading, gambling, illegal
transfer of foreign currencies out of the country, use of credit
cards, etc.
