FATF lifts South Africa from grey list: What it means for the economy

SA WAS finally removed from the grey list, more than two years after it was flagged for deficiencies in combating money laundering and terrorist financing. | File

SA was placed on the list in February 2023 after the FATF pointed out weaknesses in its laws and systems to fight money laundering and terrorism financing.

After more than two years of reforms, legal updates, and tighter financial controls, SA has met the FATF's requirements.

The FATF said SA has improved its systems to stop money laundering and terrorist financing.

Nigeria, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso have also been removed from the list.
