The Financial Action Task Force removed Bulgaria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast and Monaco from its “grey list” after concluding they had addressed key deficiencies in anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing controls. Vietnam remains under increased monitoring. FATF said it would consider next steps if the country fails to make tangible progress before its next plenary, scheduled for February 22–26. The statement does not say Vietnam will automatically be placed on the “black list”; that designation is reserved for jurisdictions with serious, persistent strategic deficiencies.
