Arab News, 24 February 2024: The international organisation responsible for anti-money laundering and terrorist financing, the Financial Action Task Force or FATF, has announced it has removed the UAE from its grey list.

It did so after the authorities in the UAE implemented all 15 of its recommendations.

The UAE authorities reported significant progress in addressing significant anti-money laundering and terrorist financing deficiencies identified during FATF’s evaluations.

The UAE authorities had committed to implementing an action plan swiftly to fix the strategic deficiencies identified within agreed timeframes.

Removal from the list means the UAE will no longer be subject to monitoring by FATF.
