FATF Publication on Global ML/TF/PF Risk – October 2026
FATF Publication on Global ML/TF/PF Risk
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global standard-setting body for anti-money laundering, countering financing of terrorism and proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF). The FATF identifies jurisdictions that have strategic deficiencies and works with them to address those deficiencies that pose a risk to the international financial system. The purpose of this is to safeguard it from risks associated with money laundering, financing of terrorism and proliferation financing (ML/TF/PF) as well as to promote greater compliance with AML/CFT/CPF standards.
High-Risk Jurisdictions Subject to a Call for Action
Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring
Jurisdictions under increased monitoring are actively working with the FATF to address the strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter ML/TF/PF. When the FATF places a jurisdiction under increased monitoring, it indicates that the country has committed to taking prompt action to address any identified strategic weaknesses within predetermined deadlines.
FATF Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring – October 2026
Jurisdictions no Longer under Increased Monitoring
Bulgaria, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Monaco are no longer under the list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring as they have strengthened the effectiveness of its AML/CFT/CPF regime to meet the commitments in its action plan regarding the strategic deficiencies that the FATF identified.
Reporting institutions should remain aware of jurisdictions with elevated risks of ML/TF/PF. This information should be used as a guide for ML/TF/PF risk assessments, compliance programs and to support decisions to report suspicious transactions.
