Money laundering: These 4 African countries remain on the grey list

On October 30, 2026, the Financial Action Task Force updated its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring, retaining Angola, Cameroon, Kenya and South Sudan. Remaining on the list can hamper access to capital and international banking relationships. Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of the Congo were removed after making progress in tackling money laundering and terrorist financing. The four countries still listed will need to step up reforms, particularly financial supervision and the detection of suspicious flows.
