NIGERIAN FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE UNI ➤ NFIU INTEGRITY & DILIGENCE NIGERIAN FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE UNIT (NFIU) ADVISORY BASED ON THE FINANCIAL ACTION TASK FORCE IDENTIFIED JURISDICTIONS WITH ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING, COMBATING THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM, AND PROLIFERATION DEFICIENCIES (GREY-LIST) The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) In fulfilment of its obligations on the timely provision of guidance to Reporting Entities and Competent Authorities (CA) publishes Indicators and advisory on crimes of money laundering and terrorist financing in an effort to guide Reporting Entities and CA on observable trends and patterns to mitigate AML/CFT threats. MARCH 2021 INTRODUCTION In February, 2021, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) updated its list of jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Proliferation Financing ML/FT/PF.¹ The changes may affect Nigerian financial institutions' obligations and risk-based approaches with respect to relevant jurisdictions. Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) is issuing this advisory as a medium to inform all Financial Institutions, Designated Non-Financial Institutions, Regulatory Authorities, Security Agencies and all relevant Stakeholders in the AML/CFT regime in Nigeria on updates to the FATF list of jurisdictions with strategic Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and Counter-Proliferation Financing deficiencies, to be cautious in establishing business relationships with entities or individuals and or conducting financial transactions, including inward or outward transfers, with the following jurisdictions that have been identified to have strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT regime and pose a risk to the international financial system. Financial institutions should consider the FATF's statements when reviewing their obligations and risk-based policies, procedures, and practices with respect to the jurisdictions noted below. In February, October & December, 2020, the FATF delisted the Trinidad and Tobacco, Iceland, Mongolia and the Bahamas from the list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring (grey-list) and are therefore no longer subject to the FATF increased monitoring process. These jurisdictions have demonstrated willingness to continue to work with the FATF to further improve their AML/CFT regime. In February 2021, the FATF identified the following countries; Burkina Faso, the Cayman Islands, Morocco, and Senegal as part of its grey-list jurisdictions, otherwise commonly referred to as the list of jurisdictions subject to increased monitoring.
