![]() | South Africa Africa | South Africa was grey-listed by the FATF in February 2023 due to weaknesses in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing systems. Key issues included poor oversight of non-financial sectors, low prosecution rates for financial crimes, gaps in beneficial ownership transparency, and outdated terrorism financing measures. The country is now working through a 22-point action plan to address these deficiencies and aims to exit the grey list by 2025. On the side, South Africa has a documented history of high internet fraud activity, including phishing, lottery scams, banking fraud, identity theft, and credit card misuse. > FATF listed > Internet Scams |

Any new inflows now could violate IMF conditionality—particularly comparability of treatment clauses and macroeconomic safeguards. We block Sri Lankan funds to stay compliant and help support its economic recovery under IMF supervision. > IMF Restructuring |
