Enhanced AML controls and law reform urgent priority for Sri Lanka
Daily FT
|April 02, 2025
THE Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog. It sets international standards that aim to prevent these illegal activities and the harm they cause to society.

According to a recent Central Bank report "Sri Lanka will face its third Mutual Evaluation (ME) in 2025. Given the country's past experience of two MEs which resulted in it being included in the FATF "grey list" and subsequent economic and financial repercussions, the upcoming ME will be a significant event in the country's economic and financial progression." Sri Lanka has been on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) "grey list" twice, in 2011 and 2017, but was delisted in October 2019 after addressing strategic deficiencies in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) framework.
