FATF: verstärkte Beobachtung (graue Liste)

Statement from June 2026

Since June 2021, when Haiti made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and CFATF to strengthen the effectiveness of its AML/CFT regime, Haiti has taken steps towards improving its AML/CFT regime, including by completing its ML/TF risk assessment process and disseminating the findings. The FATF recognises the political commitment expressed at a high level and the efforts demonstrated by Haiti to advance its commitment in the midst of the challenging social, economic and security situation within the country. Haiti should continue to work on implementing its action plan to address its strategic deficiencies, including by:

1. implementing risk-based AML/CFT supervision for DNFBPs deemed to constitute a higher ML/TF risk
2. ensuring basic and beneficial ownership information are maintained and accessible in a timely manner
3. demonstrating authorities are identifying, investigating and prosecuting ML cases in a manner consistent with Haiti’s risk profile
4. demonstrating an increase of identification, tracing and recovery of proceeds of crimes
5. addressing the technical deficiencies in its targeted financial sanctions regime
6. conducting appropriate risk-based monitoring of NPOs vulnerable to TF abuse without disrupting or discouraging legitimate NPO activities

The FATF notes Haiti’s continued progress across its action plan, however all deadlines have expired and work remains. The FATF encourages Haiti to continue to implement its action plan to address the above-mentioned strategic deficiencies.
