In June 2020, Jamaica was added to the European Commission’s list of high-risk third countries with regards to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT).

In March 2022, the EU Global Facility conducted a scoping mission to the island, in order to evaluate the current state of play and the activities delivered so far by the EU Global Facility to Jamaican counterparts.

Since then, the training and activities conducted by the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT have sought to help Jamaica rectify the strategic deficiencies in its national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework and strengthen its capacities in this regard to be removed from the list.
