What happened
The Finance Ministry stated on September 23, 2026, that Türkiye faces no risk of returning to the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) gray list. The FATF’s fifth-round mutual evaluation rated Türkiye compliant or largely compliant with 38 of its 40 recommendations. The remaining two recommendations were rated as partially compliant.
Why it matters
The findings confirmed that Türkiye had no strategic deficiencies in combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and the financing of weapons of mass destruction. FATF noted progress in financial intelligence and international cooperation but called for stronger money laundering investigations in high-risk areas.
Hearings have been called regarding the potential placement of Turkey on the FATF blacklist.
