Update to the List of Jurisdictions with Strategic Deficiencies
New countries added to the list
The FATF “grey list” has been updated to include Monaco and Venezuela. These countries are now under increased monitoring. They are actively working with the FATF to address their strategic deficiencies in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT). As part of this process, they have committed to implementing an action plan designed to resolve the identified deficiencies within agreed timeframes.
Countries removed from the list
Jamaica and Türkiye have been removed from the grey list. According to the FATF, both countries have made significant progress in addressing the strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT frameworks.
Call to action for high-risk jurisdictions
The FATF also regularly identifies countries or jurisdictions with serious strategic deficiencies in their measures to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and the financing of weapons of mass destruction. These countries are subject to a FATF “blacklist,” and the FATF calls on all members to apply enhanced due diligence and take countermeasures to protect the international financial system.
Currently, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Iran, and Myanmar remain on the blacklist. The FATF expresses serious concern regarding the DPRK, which continues to have significant AML/CFT deficiencies. The FATF notes that the DPRK has further strengthened its links to the international financial system, increasing the risk of proliferation financing. Consequently, the FATF urges enhanced due diligence and the renewed implementation and enforcement of countermeasures in response to these threats.
