In line with the CFATF Procedures for the Fourth Round of Mutual AML/CFT Evaluations, the country has reported back to the CFATF on the actions it has taken since its mutual evaluation and its  Follow-up Reports.

  • Consequently, to reflect the progress of The Bahamas, the CFATF has re-rated the country in relation to Recommendations 8 and 15 from Partially Compliant to Compliant.

The Bahamas has 40 Recommendations rated C or LC. The Bahamas will remain in enhanced follow-up.Publication short description
