The European Commission has updated the list of high-risk countries.  

The Commission adds 2 countries to the list of high-risk countries because they have major deficiencies in their national anti-money laundering rules and systems. The European Commission bases this assessment on FATF reports, inter-country talks and on-site visits.

  • Bolivia
  • the British Virgin Islands

In addition, the European Commission is removing six countries from the list. These countries have improved their national AML compliance.
  • Burkina Faso
  • Mali
  • Mozambique
  • Nigeria
  • South Africa
  • Tanzania

The list will officially take effect once the European Parliament and the Council agree to it and raise no objections.
