Countries Subject to a FATF Call for Action
Three times a year, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) identifies, in a public statement, countries whose regimes have strategic deficiencies in combating money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and calls on countries to take specific measures in relation to them.
Countries with strategic deficiencies in their regimes for combating money laundering and terrorist financing are classified as follows:
High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action
High-risk countries have significant strategic deficiencies in their regimes for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Accordingly, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) calls on all countries to apply enhanced due diligence measures to these countries and, in the most serious cases, to apply countermeasures to protect the global financial system from the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing arising from these countries.

Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring
These are countries with strategic deficiencies in their regimes for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of proliferation. However, they have made a high-level commitment to an action plan developed with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and are subject to monitoring until they complete the action plan within the agreed timeframe.
FATF does not call on its member countries to apply enhanced due diligence measures to these countries.
