The FATF updates the blacklist regularly, adding or deleting entries.\n[\n4\n]\nThe 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\nproliferation\n. 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\".\n[\n5\n]\nAs of November 2022, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist:\nNorth Korea\n,\nIran\n, and\nMyanmar\n.\n[\n6\n]\nThe 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.\n[\n7\n]\nThe FATF was established by the\nG7\nsummit 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.\n[\n8\n]\nThe 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.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nSince 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of\nG20\nleaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.\n[\n4\n]\nOne 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.\n[\n4\n]\nIn 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.\"\n[\n9\n]\nFATF member nations\n[\nedit\n]\nFinancial Action Task Force Membership Map\nAccording to its official website, there are 39 members of FATF (earlier 40 members, Russia's membership was suspended in Feb 2023) and two Regional Organisations (European Union and Gulf Cooperation Council), representing most financial centers around the world.\n[\n10\n]\nThe list consisted of the following countries:\n[\n11\n]\nThere are currently no FATF observer nations, but many financial institutions participate at that level.\n[\n12\n]\nFATF Blacklisting reports\n[\nedit\n]\nThe Blacklist is a term used by the media, which is officially called a \"Call for action\" nations by the FATF.\nThe initial list of fifteen countries regarded as uncooperative in the fight against money laundering, was published in June 2000.\n[\n13\n]\nThe list consisted of the following countries:\n[\n13\n]\nThe second FATF report, published in 2001 and including a supplemental report in September, denoted a further eight countries as non-cooperative:\nAccording to June 2002 report from FATF, following countries were listed as NCCTs.\n[\n14\n]\nAccording to a June 2003 report from FATF, the following countries were listed as NCCTs.\n[\n15\n]\nAccording to the July 2004 report from FATF, the following countries were listed as NCCTs.\n[\n16\n]\nAccording to June 2005 report from FATF, the following were listed as NCCTs.\n[\n17\n]\nThe seventh list, published in June 2006,\n[\n18\n]\nlisted only the following country as non-cooperative:\nMyanmar\nFATF's Eighth NCCT Review (Annual Review of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories 2006–2007, dated 12 October 2007) listed no countries as non-cooperative.\n[\n19\n]\nMyanmar (formerly Burma) was removed on 13 October 2006, Nauru on 13 October 2005 and Nigeria on 23 June 2006.\n[\n19\n]\nFATF's Ninth Review identified the following countries as high risk and non-cooperative.\n[\n20\n]\nJune 2009 statement\n[\nedit\n]\nFATF issued a \"public statement\" on 25 February 2009 noting concerns and encouraging greater compliance by the following countries:\n[\n21\n]\nOctober 2010 Statement\n[\nedit\n]\nThe following country has not made sufficient progress in addressing the deficiencies or has not committed to an action plan developed with the FATF to address the deficiencies.\n[\n22\n]\nNorth Korea\nOctober 2011 Statement\n[\nedit\n]\nThe following countries have not made sufficient progress in addressing the deficiencies or have not committed to an action plan developed with the FATF to address the deficiencies.\n[\n23\n]\nFebruary 2012 statement\n[\nedit\n]\nA total of 17 countries were labeled as high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions by FATF.

encyclopedia\n\nBlacklist of non-cooperating countries created by the Financial Action Task Force\n\nThe **Financial Action Task Force blacklist** (often abbreviated to **FATF blacklist**, and officially known as the \"**Call for action**\")[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfterminology1-1) is a [blacklist](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blacklisting \"Blacklisting\") maintained by the [Financial Action Task Force](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force \"Financial Action Task Force\").[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-Introduction-May1-2)[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-3)\n\nThe 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](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Money_laundering \"Money laundering\") and [terrorist financing](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Terrorism_financing \"Terrorism financing\"), calling them \"Non-Cooperative Countries or Territories\" (NCCTs).[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4)\n\nAlthough non-appearance on the blacklist was perceived to be a mark of approbation for [offshore financial centres](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Offshore_financial_centre \"Offshore financial centre\") (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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4)\n\nThe 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](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Proliferation_\\(nuclear_weapons\\) \"Proliferation (nuclear weapons)\"). 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-5) As of November 2022, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist: [North Korea](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_Korea \"North Korea\"), [Iran](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iran \"Iran\"), and [Myanmar](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Myanmar \"Myanmar\").[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-6)\n\nThe 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-7)\n\n## History\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: History\")\\]\n\nThe FATF was established by the [G7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G7 \"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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-8)\n\nThe 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.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\] Since 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of [G20](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G20 \"G20\") leaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4)\n\n## Primary works\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Primary works\")\\]\n\nOne 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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.\"[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-9)\n\n## FATF member

The FATF updates the blacklist regularly, adding or deleting entries.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4)\n\nThe 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](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Proliferation_\\(nuclear_weapons\\) \"Proliferation (nuclear weapons)\"). 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-5) As of November 2022, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist: [North Korea](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_Korea \"North Korea\"), [Iran](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iran \"Iran\"), and [Myanmar](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Myanmar \"Myanmar\").[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-6)\n\nThe 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-7)\n\nThe FATF was established by the [G7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G7 \"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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-8)\n\nThe 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.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\] Since 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of [G20](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G20 \"G20\") leaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4)\n\nOne 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\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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.\"[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-9)\n\n## FATF member

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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 November 2022, 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 ] 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. [ citation needed ] 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 ] 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." [ 9 ] FATF member nations [ edit ] Financial Action Task Force Membership Map According to its official website, there are 39 members of FATF (earlier 40 members, Russia's membership was suspended in Feb 2023) and two Regional Organisations (European Union and Gulf Cooperation Council), representing most financial centers around the world.

[ 58 ] 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. [ 59 ] 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.

[ 64 ] 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.

The FATF updates the blacklist regularly, adding or deleting entries.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferation_\(nuclear_weapons\) "Proliferation (nuclear weapons)"). 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".[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-5) As of November 2022, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist: [North Korea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea "North Korea"), [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran"), and [Myanmar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar "Myanmar").[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-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.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-7) ## History \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: History")\] The FATF was established by the [G7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7 "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.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-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.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Since 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of [G20](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20 "G20") leaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4) ## Primary works \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Primary works")\] 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.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-9) ## FATF member nations

Readable Markdown	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Financial Action Task Force blacklist (often abbreviated to FATF blacklist, and officially known as the "Call for action")[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfterminology1-1) is a [blacklist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklisting "Blacklisting") maintained by the [Financial Action Task Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force "Financial Action Task Force").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-Introduction-May1-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering "Money laundering") and [terrorist financing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_financing "Terrorism financing"), calling them "Non-Cooperative Countries or Territories" (NCCTs).[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4) Although non-appearance on the blacklist was perceived to be a mark of approbation for [offshore financial centres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_financial_centre "Offshore financial centre") (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.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferation_\(nuclear_weapons\) "Proliferation (nuclear weapons)"). 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".[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-5) As of November 2022, only three countries were on the FATF blacklist: [North Korea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea "North Korea"), [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran"), and [Myanmar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar "Myanmar").[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-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.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-7) The FATF was established by the [G7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7 "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.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-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.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Since 2008 the FATF has, at the behest of [G20](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20 "G20") leaders, installed a more analytical process for identifying jurisdictions deficient in their anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regimes.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-4) 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.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_blacklist#cite_note-fatfworks-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.
