After leaving its “grey list,” what the FATF now recommends to Côte d’Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire left the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list on October 30, 2026, having been placed on it in October 2024. The FATF praised significant progress made through institutional and regulatory reforms to strengthen the country’s efforts against money laundering and terrorist financing. Measures cited include greater international cooperation, risk-based supervision, and stronger checks on beneficial ownership information. The European Commission still lists Côte d’Ivoire as a high-risk third country, but may review its status following the FATF decision.
