In accordance with the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an evaluation team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is visiting Côte d'Ivoire to assess the AML/CFT system.

The mission aims to assess the implementation by the States of the specific obligations of the FATF recommendations. This includes ensuring the existence of a legal and institutional framework that complies with these recommendations.

Côte d'Ivoire thus underwent the first round of the mutual evaluation of its AML/CFT system in 2012 by peer evaluators from the subregion, under the aegis of GIABA. Since 2016, member states, including 14 countries of the Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), have begun the second round of mutual evaluation of their national systems.

An evaluation of the AML/CFT system can lead to two processes. The first is regular monitoring in the event of satisfactory results, and the second is more intensive monitoring that leads to the country being placed on the grey list, a sign ofa "reputational" risk for investors who must be aware that the country evaluated is subject to money laundering risks.
