Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FATF has provided some flexibility to jurisdictions not facing immediate deadlines to report progress on a voluntary basis. A number of jurisdictions have not yet been reviewed by the FATF or their FSRBs, but will be in due course. The FATF identifies additional jurisdictions, on an on-going basis, that have strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. Therefore, the FATF encourages its members and all jurisdictions to take into account the information presented below in their risk analysis. The FATF Standards do not envisage de-risking, or cutting-off entire classes of customers, but call for the application of a risk-based approach. The FATF does not call for the application of enhanced due diligence measures to be applied to these jurisdictions. The FATF welcomes their commitment and will closely monitor their progress.

The FATF calls on these jurisdictions to complete their action plans expeditiously and within the agreed timeframes. The FATF and FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs) continue to work with the jurisdictions below as they report on the progress achieved in addressing their strategic deficiencies. This list is often externally referred to as the “grey list”. When the FATF places a jurisdiction under increased monitoring, it means the country has committed to resolve swiftly the identified strategic deficiencies within agreed timeframes and is subject to increased monitoring. Paris, 24 February 2023 - Jurisdictions under increased monitoring are actively working with the FATF to address strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing.
