Jurisdictions under increased monitoring
4 November 2026
It is important that you remain up to date with jurisdictions named on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “black and grey” lists.
The “grey list” refers to Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring (FATF website) that are actively working with the FATF to address strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing.
Following FATF’s October 2026 Plenary, no countries were added to the list of Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring. Bulgaria, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Monaco were removed from the grey list after FATF determined they had successfully addressed the strategic deficiencies identified in their action plans.
FATF also identifies High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action, commonly known as the “black list”. Iran and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) remain on this list. Myanmar remains subject to a call to apply enhanced due diligence measures proportionate to the risks arising from the jurisdiction. There were no changes to the High-Risk Jurisdictions list following the October 2026 Plenary.
More information about the October 2026 Plenary can be found on the FATF website: Outcomes FATF Plenary, 28-30 October 2026 (FATF website).
