Possible Repercussions of the FATF Grey Listing and EU Blacklisting on International Financial Transacting


As a result of Myanmar's 2018 Mutual Evaluation Report (MER), in 2020 Myanmar appeared on the Financial Action Taskforce (FATF) "grey list" of countries with deficiencies in their Anti Money Laundering regime. The EU added Myanmar to its own "blacklist" largely on the basis of the same report.


These developments place significant pressure on international transactions, requiring regulated institutions to conduct additional due diligence on trade with the country. Banks are re-assessing credit lines; counterparts must enhance the due diligence on their relationships: it is becoming more difficult to do business in Myanmar.


This event will be conducted as an online meeting and will involve a presentation by GovRisk on the the pressure of the stance taken by FATF & EU on financial services, followed by the facilitation of an interactive discussion.

The discussion is intended for professionals working in Financial Services - and businesses using those services - who are experiencing changes in the way they operate as a repercussion of the grey-listing, such as making payments and accessing credit.
