Tunisia will "officially and definitively" come out of the blacklist of countries highly exposed to money laundering and terrorist financing in October, promised the governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia, Marouan Abassi. "This will allow us to automatically get out of the European list," he observed.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international institution in charge of examining and developing measures to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, placed Tunisia in 2018 in the so-called category of " countries under surveillance” a classification in line with its commitments, being part of the countries which have committed themselves to an action plan drawn up in close collaboration with international bodies and the FATF. Since then, the Tunisian government has multiplied actions and measures to comply with the required standards.
