Brisbane, le 26 juin 2015 - Le Groupe d'action financière (GAFI) est l’organisme responsable de l’élaboration de normes en matière de lutte contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme (LBC/FT) à l’échelle mondiale. Afin de protéger le système financier international des risques associés au blanchiment de capitaux et au financement du terrorisme (BC/FT) et afin de promouvoir le respect des normes de LBC/FT, le GAFI a déterminé les juridictions qui présentent des défaillances stratégiques et travaille avec ces juridictions pour remédier aux défaillances constituant un risque pour le système financier international (suite disponible en anglais uniquement).
Jurisdictions subject to a FATF call on its members and other jurisdictions to apply counter-measures to protect the international financial system from the on-going and substantial money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/FT) risks emanating from the jurisdictions. |
Jurisdictions with strategic AML/CFT deficiencies that 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. The FATF calls on its members to consider the risks arising from the deficiencies associated with each jurisdiction, as described below. |
Algeria has taken steps towards improving its AML/CFT regime, including by issuing terrorist asset freezing regulations. The FATF has not assessed Algeria’s new measures on terrorist assets freezing due to their recent nature, and therefore the FATF has not yet determined the extent to which they address the earlier deficiency identified regarding the establishment and implementation of an adequate legal framework for identifying, tracing and freezing terrorist assets. The FATF welcomes Algeria’s progress and encourages Algeria to continue the process of implementing its action plan.
Myanmar has taken steps towards improving its AML/CFT regime. However, despite Myanmar’s high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and APG to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, Myanmar has not made sufficient progress in implementing its action plan, and certain strategic AML/CFT deficiencies remain. Myanmar should continue to work on implementing its action plan to address these deficiencies, including by: (1) adequately criminalising terrorist financing; (2) establishing and implementing adequate procedures to identify and freeze terrorist assets; (3) ensuring an operationally independent and effectively functioning financial intelligence unit; and (4) strengthening customer due diligence measures. The FATF encourages Myanmar to address the remaining deficiencies and continue the process of implementing its action plan.
