Summary
The FATF plenary in Paris, which ended on 30 October 2026, removed Bulgaria, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Monaco from its increased-monitoring list. It agreed to speed up enforcement of its virtual-asset standards with a targeted review of gaps, and adopted mutual evaluation reports for Mexico and the United States.
