In October 2021, the FATF added Turkiye to its list of the Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring with regards to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT).

Following a request from the Turkish authorities, the EU Global Facility team conducted a scoping mission in February 2022 to assess the needs and demands of the partner country.

The training and activities conducted by the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT seek to help Turkiye in rectifying the country’s strategic deficiencies in its national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework. as defined under the European Commission’s Fourth and Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directives.
