Cayman Islands Satisfies FATF Action Plan
02 October 2023 . 8 min readGood News
Following the conclusion of the FATF’s most recent plenary on 23 June 2023, the FATF has determined that the Cayman Islands has substantively fulfilled its action plan. Therefore, subject only to the completion of an on-site visit by the FATF later this year, which forms part of the FATF’s standard process for removing a jurisdiction from the Monitoring List, the Cayman Islands will be delisted. As the EU has previously confirmed that it does not require the Cayman Islands to take additional steps beyond those set out in the FATF’s action plan to facilitate removal from the EU AML List, it is widely expected that this will automatically follow.
