Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF)

The objectives of MENAFATF are to:

  • To adopt and implement the FATF 40 Recommendations on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism and proliferation;
  • To implement the relevant UN treaties and agreements and United Nations Security Council Resolutions;
  • To co-operate among each other to raise compliance with these standards within the MENA Region and to cooperate with other international and regional organizations, institutions and agencies to improve compliance worldwide;
  • To work jointly to identify issues of regional nature related to money laundering and terrorist financing, and to share relevant experiences and to develop solutions for dealing with them; and
  • To take measures throughout the region to effectively combat money laundering and terrorist financing in a way that does not contradict with the cultural values, constitutional frameworks and legal systems in the member countries.
