What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Democratic Republic of the Congo exited the Financial Action Task Force’s grey list on October 30, 2026, after four years of reforms. The FATF stated that the DRC completed all 23 actions contained in its reform plan. The country had been placed on the grey list in October 2022 due to deficiencies in its framework for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The removal is expected to strengthen the integrity of the DRC's financial system. Finance Minister Doudou Roussel Fwamba Likunde Li-Botayi stated that the change should reduce the cost and friction of cross-border transactions for Congolese businesses and citizens. It is also expected to support correspondent banking relationships and strengthen investor confidence.
