The FATF identifies jurisdictions with weak measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) in two FATF public documents that are issued three times a year.
The FIAU endorses such documents through a Guidance Note on High Risk and Non-Cooperative Jurisdictions published on June 2024 and as a result, subject persons are obliged to compl with the FATF public documents.
|
Category 1 - Jurisdictions that have strategic AML/CFT deficiencies and to which counter-measurs apply. |
Category 2 - Jurisdictions with strategic AML/CFT deficiencies that have not made sufficient progress in addressing the deficiencies or have not committed to an action plan developed with the FATF to address the deficiencies. |
Category 3 - Jurisdictions with strategic AML/CFT deficiencies that have developed an action plan with the FATF and have made a high-level political commitment to address their AML/CFT deficiencies |
