The Commission has today updated the Handbook on Countering Financial Crime (AML/CFT/CPF) (the “Handbook”) to amend Iraq and Bosnia & Herzegovina’s entry on the Appendix I list of higher risk jurisdictions. This is following the Financial Action Task Force’s (“FATF”) decision to include them in its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring.
The Handbook has also been updated to remove Namibia from the Appendix I list of higher risk jurisdictions. This is following the Financial Action Task Force’s (“FATF”) decision to remove it from its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring. FATF has also removed Algeria from its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring, however this remains on Appendix I due to being listed by other relevant external sources.
The clean and tracked version of the Handbook (including Appendix I) can be accessed via the Handbook page, with Appendix I available on the Notices, Instructions & Warnings page.
The FATF page on High-Risk and Other Monitored Jurisdictions can be found here.
