FATF: verstärkte Beobachtung (graue Liste)

(Statement from February 2023)

Since February 2010, when Yemen made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and MENAFATF to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, Yemen has made progress to improve its AML/CFT regime. In June 2014, the FATF determined that Yemen had substantially addressed its action plan at a technical level, including by:

1. adequately criminalising money laundering and terrorist financing
2. establishing procedures to identify and freeze terrorist assets
3. improving its customer due diligence and suspicious transaction reporting requirements
4. issuing guidance
5. developing the monitoring and supervisory capacity of the financial sector supervisory authorities and the financial intelligence unit
6. establishing a fully operational and effectively functioning financial intelligence unit

While the FATF determined that Yemen has completed its agreed action plan, due to the security situation, the FATF has been unable to conduct an on-site visit to confirm whether the process of implementing the required reforms and actions has begun and is being sustained. The FATF will continue to monitor the situation, and conduct an on-site visit at the earliest possible date.
