In October 2025, the FATF announced the removal of Mozambique from its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) deficiencies, also known as “Grey List“. The country had previously been listed in October 2022.

The EU Global Facility on AML/CFT warmly congratulates Mozambique on this significant achievement and its demonstrated commitment to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

Since its first scoping mission, conducted in October 2022, the EU Global Facility has provided unwavering support to help the country address strategic deficiencies in its national AML/CFT framework.

Between October 2022 and October 2025, our EU-funded project delivered comprehensive technical assistance covering the entire financial investigation and penal chain including:

• 25 interventions on topics ranging from support to the gaming sector, national coordination, Beneficial Ownership and supervision, conducted both online and onsite;
• Support to the creation of the Technical Assistance Coordination Committee;
• Preparations for the FATF Joint Group Onsite Visit in July 2025.

This removal from the FATF list is an official recognition of Mozambique’s substantial progress in addressing technical compliance deficiencies identified during its Mutual Evaluation. The delisting demonstrates the effectiveness of sustained international cooperation and technical assistance in strengthening national AML/CFT frameworks.
