Ministerial Declarations

The Ministers of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) members met in April 2021 for their first biennial meeting since they gave the FATF an op-en ended mandate in 2019.

During this biennial Ministerial meeting, ministers committed to take swift and decisive action to improve the effectiveness of measures to fight money laundering, terrorist and proliferation financing at their meeting in Washington D.C.. This includes promptly implementing the FATF’s global beneficial ownership rules, which were strengthened in 2022, to stop criminals from hiding their illicit activities and dirty money behind anonymous shell companies and other corporate structures.

FATF Ministers will meet again in 2024.
