Turkey Removed from Money Laundering Grey List

Turkey has been officially removed from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) ‘grey list’, a significant milestone for the country in its efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The FATF, an international body that sets standards and promotes effective implementation of legal, regulatory, and operational measures for combating money laundering, issued the update following improvements in Turkey’s regulatory framework and enforcement actions.

Being on the ‘grey list’ had subjected Turkey to increased scrutiny and had potential implications for its financial transactions and economic relationships globally. The removal acknowledges Turkey’s progress in addressing deficiencies and strengthening its financial system to better prevent illicit financial activities.

This development is expected to positively impact Turkey’s international financial standing and could lead to increased foreign investment and economic collaboration. It also signifies the country’s commitment to aligning with global standards and ensuring the integrity of its financial sector.

As Turkey continues to enhance its financial regulations and enforcement mechanisms, this achievement marks a notable step in its ongoing efforts to foster transparency and build trust within the international financial community.
