L'efficacité des mesures de lutte contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme et leur conformité avec les Recommandations du GAFI a été évalué en 2022.  Le rapport d'évaluation a conclu que la France dispose d'un cadre robuste et sophistiqué pour lutter contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme qui est efficace à bien des égards, particulièrement en matière de poursuite pénale, de confiscation et de coopération internationale, mais elle doit faire davantage dans des domaines tels que la supervision des professionnels impliqués dans les activités des personnes morales et du secteur immobilier.

La France a obtenu de bons résultats particulièrement dans l'utilisation du renseignement financier, les enquêtes et les poursuites en matière de blanchiment de capitaux avec une priorité donnée aux autorités compétentes de poursuivre les cas de blanchiment de capitaux de grande envergure.  Cependant, malgré une augmentation des effectifs, le manque de ressources en enquêteurs spécialisés a un impact sur les délais d'investigation, en particulier dans les cas complexes de BC.  La France doit améliorer la surveillance du secteur à but non lucratif afin de prévenir son utilisation à des fins de financement du terrorisme, notamment par une évaluation plus approfondie du risque de financement du terrorisme via ce secteur.

    Mutual Evaluation of France The FATF has completed and adopted the third mutual evaluation of the AML/CFT system in France. France has over the past several years continually strengthened, refined and expanded its system. France’s overall degree of compliance with the FATF 40+9 Recommendations is very high, particularly in the financial sector and in the legal area. France should now focus its efforts on certain non-financial professions that still have to improve their level of compliance with the standards. Taking into account the high quality and overall effectiveness of the French system, France will henceforth report back to the FATF on a biennial basis on the further evolution of its AML/CFT system which now ranks as one of the most robust in the FATF.
