The Anti-Money Laundering Organization Financial Action Group (FATF) has announced that it has placed Croatia, Cameroon and Vietnam on the “gray list” of countries subject to “enhanced surveillance”.

More than 200 countries and jurisdictions have committed to implementing the FATF standards, called FATF in English. Cameroon, Croatia and Vietnam have “committed themselves at a high political level to work” with the FATF and have made “progress” on some points and recommended measures

With these efforts still insufficient, its 3 countries join 23 others on this list of jurisdictions that have “strategic deficiencies in their regimes to combat” money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction but “are actively working” with the organization to address them and” ; are committed to resolving (them) quickly.”

This list includes the United Arab Emirates, Panama and Syria. Morocco and Cambodia left in February after several years of “reinforced surveillance”; Nigeria and South Africa were added; for its part, Russia was then suspended as a member of the FATF, a decision that “still stands.”
