FATF and MONEYVAL to partner on joint June 2025 Plenary meeting

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and its European regional partner, Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL, will hold a joint Plenary meeting in Strasbourg on 12 – 13 June 2025, aimed at strengthening the global fight against illicit finance.

The Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) is a Council of Europe monitoring body and a Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Style Regional Body which assesses compliance with the main international standards to counter money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as the effectiveness of their implementation. It comprises 35 jurisdictions, 32 of which are assessed solely by MONEYVAL.

The joint Plenary, chaired by FATF President, Elisa de Anda Madrazo, and MONEYVAL Chair, Nicola Muccioli, will follow two days of working group meetings. It will bring together members of the Global Network of more than 200 countries and international organisations, to reinforce the global response to the latest illicit finance threats.

Working in close partnership with the Global Network is a key priority for the FATF, as it aims to increase implementation of effective, risk-based and inclusive measures to tackle financial crime around the world. 

Following the meeting, Chairs of FATF-Style Regional Bodies will participate in a high level annual meeting on 14 June aimed at building partnerships and exchanging knowledge across the Global Network. 

On the same day, the FATF will also hold a Technical Assistance Peer Exchange meeting which aims to address strategic issues relating to support for countries with fewer resources to strengthen their defences against illicit finance. The event will bring together members of the Global Network with donors and providers of technical assistance and capacity building.
