Jurisdictions under increased monitoring 
30 October 2025
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” is those 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. You should remain up to date with the countries on the grey list.
Following FATF’s October 2025 plenary, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Nigeria, and South Africa were removed from the grey list after positive progress in addressing their strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. No countries have been added to the grey list.
FATF also identifies High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action (FATF website), known as the “black list". Iran and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) remain on this list. Myanmar remains a country subject to a call to apply enhanced due diligence measures proportionate to the risks arising from the jurisdiction.
