The sixth Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Plenary under the two-year Singapore Presidency of T. Raja Kumar will take place in Singapore on 26-28 June and will conclude FATF Week which starts on 23 June.
Delegates representing more than 200 members of the Global Network and observer organisations, including the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the World Bank, INTERPOL and the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, will participate in the Working Group and Plenary meetings in Singapore during FATF Week.
Delegates will discuss key issues including modifications to its assessment methodology to reflect revisions to the FATF Standards in order to further enhance asset recovery and international co-operation frameworks and more effectively deprive criminals of the proceeds of crime. They will also discuss prioritisation criteria for reviewing countries with strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT regimes (i.e., FATF’s “black or grey listing”). Delegates will also discuss the progress made by some jurisdictions identified as presenting a risk to the global financial system, as well as mutual evaluation reports for India and Kuwait.
