In light of the forthcoming 4th Round Mutual Evaluation of Haiti, the CFATF May 2018 Plenary agreed that Haiti be removed from the CFATF ICRG process. The outstanding deficiencies will be assessed as part of the 4th Round Process. Therefore, Haiti is no longer subject to monitoring by CFATF ICRG.
The CFATF will continue to work with Haiti towards strengthening its AML/CFT framework and ensuring that the jurisdiction is fully prepared for the 4th Round Mutual Evaluation.
