Short description: Blacklist of non-cooperating countries created by the Financial Action Task Force


The Financial Action Task Force blacklist (often abbreviated to FATF blacklist, and officially known as the "Call for action")[1] is a blacklist maintained by the Financial Action Task Force.[2][3]

The blacklist has been issued by the FATF since 2000, and lists countries which FATF judges to be non-cooperative in the global fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, calling them "Non-Cooperative Countries or Territories" (NCCTs).[4]

Although non-appearance on the blacklist was perceived to be a mark of approbation for offshore financial centres (or "tax havens") that are sufficiently well regulated to meet all of the FATF's criteria, in practice, the list included countries that did not operate as offshore financial centres. The FATF updates the blacklist regularly, adding or deleting entries.[4]

The FATF describes "High-risk jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action" as having "significant strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, and financing of proliferation. For all countries identified as high-risk, the FATF calls on all members and urges all jurisdictions to apply enhanced due diligence. In the most serious cases, countries are called upon to apply counter-measures to protect the international financial system from the ongoing money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing risks emanating from the country".[5] As of February 2026, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist: North Korea, Iran, and Myanmar.[6]

The FATF has been characterized as effective in shifting laws and regulations to combat illicit financial flows. FATF incentivizes stricter regulations through its public noncomplier list, which leads financial institutions to shift resources and services away from the countries on the blacklist. This in turn motivates domestic economic and political actors in the listed countries to pressure their governments to introduce regulations that are compliant with the FATF.[7]

History

The FATF was established by the G7 summit that was held in Paris in July 1989. Founding stakeholders include the G-7 Heads of State or Government, the President of the European Commission and eight other countries.[8]

The term "non-cooperative" was criticized by some analysts as misleading, as a number of countries on the list simply lacked the infrastructure or resources to cope with relatively sophisticated financial criminals who tried to operate there.[9] Since 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of G20 leaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.[4]

Primary works

One of the main objectives of the FATF is to establish norms and standards of "legal, regulatory and operational measures" to fight against money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the security and integrity of the international financial system. However, FATF "has no investigative authority." FATF works with nation-states to bring legislative changes and regulatory reforms in the aforementioned sectors.[4] In addition, the FATF also provides policy recommendations that meet international standards to countries for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. FATF has been providing policy recommendations since 1990 and their recommendations have been revised four times since then. FATF also monitors the situations of its members in establishing adequate measures and institutions to fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. FATF also makes sure that it is aware of national-level vulnerabilities of its member states "with the aim of protecting the international financial system from misuse."[10]

  1.  Iran
  2.  North Korea
  3.  Myanmar

Basis for Blacklist Status

North Korea is identified as having severe strategic deficiencies in addressing money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. It is subject to enhanced due diligence and even countermeasures to protect the international financial system from the risks it poses.[35]

Iran has not yet completed its action plan, has not ratified the Palermo Convention or the Terrorist Financing Conventions (CFT), and requires significant additional steps to comply with FATF standards.[35] Following the approval of Iran’s accession to the Palermo Convention, the FATF invited representatives of the Islamic Republic for discussions regarding Iran’s presence on the blacklist. Despite its accession to the Palermo Convention, according to Iran International, Iran has still not joined the CFT, and for years it has funded organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, which are considered terrorist organizations by much of the international community.[36] On 24 October 2025, FATF announced that Iran would not be removed from its blacklist. Despite the regime’s approval of accession to the CFT and the Palermo Convention, FATF stated that Iran had not made substantive changes and continues to pose a high risk of terrorist financing, money laundering, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.[37]

Myanmar has significant strategic deficiencies in its mechanisms for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and will remain under close monitoring until it fully completes its action plan.[35]

OECD "grey list"

implementation of the internationally agreed tax standard as of 2011
  substantially implemented the standard
  committed to the standard, but have not yet substantially implemented it
  have not committed to the standard (none)
  jurisdiction not monitored

Although its main focus is on tax crime, the OECD is also concerned with money laundering and has complemented the work carried out by the FATF.[72]

The OECD has maintained a 'blacklist' of countries it considers "uncooperative tax havens" in the drive for transparency of tax affairs and the effective exchange of information, officially called "The List of Uncooperative Tax Havens". Since May 2009, no countries were officially listed as uncooperative tax havens in the light of their commitments to implement the OECD standards.[73]

On 22 October 2008, at an OECD meeting in Paris, 17 countries led by France and Germany decided to draw up a new blacklist of tax havens. It had been asked to investigate around 40 new tax havens where undeclared revenue was hidden and which hosted many of the non-regulated hedge funds that came under fire during the 2008 financial crisis. Germany, France, and other countries called on the OECD to add Switzerland to a blacklist of countries which encourage tax fraud.[74] On 2 April 2009, the OECD published a list of countries, divided into three parts depending on whether they implemented an "internationally agreed tax standard", in select jurisdictions – tax havens or other financial centers of interest.[75]

  • substantially implemented the standard: Andorra, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Canada, Cayman Islands,[76] Chile, China, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Grenada, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jersey, South Korea, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macao, Malaysia, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Mexico, Monaco, Montserrat, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, US Virgin Islands, Vanuatu. This is not a complete list, as many countries, including Lebanon, Nigeria and many more are not included in this list.
  • committed to the standard, but have not yet substantially implemented it: Nauru, Niue, Guatemala, Uruguay
  • have not committed to the standard: none as of October 2009.[77]

Global forum compliance

Other nations regularly accused of terror financing

Nations such as Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar have been accused of not preventing the flow of funds for terror financing in other nations.[78] In March 2022, the FATF added the UAE to its grey list of jurisdictions subject to increased monitoring, as it claims that the country is non-cooperative in the global fight against money laundering and terror financing.[79][80] Qatar, which has also been accused of supporting terrorists, was found by the FATF in a June 2023 report of having shown a government-wide effort to address ML/TF risks and to implement an effective targeted financial sanctions (TFS) regime.
