FATF Plenary Week - June 2023

Paris, 19 June 2023,

The third Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Plenary under the two-year Singapore Presidency of T. Raja Kumar will take place on 21-23 June and will conclude FATF Week which starts on 19 June. 

Delegates representing 206 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 Paris during FATF Week.

Delegates will work through a full agenda and discuss key issues that include work to strengthen the standards on asset recovery to deprive criminals from their ill-gotten gains, and work to prevent the misuse of non-profit organisations for terrorism financing. Delegates will also focus on the progress that countries have made in implementing the FATF’s requirements on virtual assets and virtual asset service providers, since the June 2022 update.

Delegates will also discuss the assessment of measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing in Luxembourg as well as the progress made by some jurisdictions identified as presenting a risk to the financial system.

A summary of the Plenary’s decisions will be published on the FATF website following the conclusion of the meeting.
