FATF - High-Risk Jurisdictions (Black List)

FATF High-Risk Jurisdictions is the official list published by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setter for anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CFT), and counter-proliferation financing (CPF).

The list includes two categories:

• Black List (High-Risk Jurisdictions Subject to Call for Action): Countries with significant strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. FATF calls on all members to apply countermeasures. Currently includes North Korea, Iran, and Myanmar.
• Grey List (Jurisdictions Under Increased Monitoring): Countries actively working with FATF to address deficiencies. Enhanced due diligence is recommended.

The list is updated three times per year after FATF plenary meetings (February, June, October). This is the foundational list used globally and forms the basis for the EU AML High-Risk Third Countries list and national AML regulations worldwide.
