The decision of the European Commission (EC) to remove Tunisia from the list of high-risk third countries
whose system for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism presents
strategic deficiencies, will be effective from the 21st day following the publication of the delegated regulation to the
official journal of the European Union, said Monday, the Tunisian Commission for Financial Analysis
(CTAF).
This withdrawal and also the exit, in October 2019, of Tunisia from the list of countries under the supervision of the group
financial action (GAFI) denote, according to a press release from the CTAF, "the compliance and effectiveness of the
national system for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. This one does not suffer
no more strategic deficiencies.”
The national system is now without threat for the financial system of the European Union and
international, reiterates the CTAF, which comes under the BCT.
On May 7, 2020, the EC had removed Tunisia from this list in addition to other countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Ethiopia, Guyana, the Lao People's Democratic Republic and Sri Lanka.
