During October 23-27, 2023, the SFMS (under the quota of the Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL Committee and with the support of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative in Ukraine (EUACI) project) will participate in the FATF Plenary and the relevant Working Groups’ meetings in Paris (French Republic).

During the meetings, it is planned to consider a number of issues related to the current state of affairs, as well as global AML/CFT/CPF initiatives, including the protection of the international financial system.

The SFMS is convinced that the risks of terrorist financing by Russia and the intensification of arms trade with countries sanctioned by the UN Security Council require an assessment by the FATF. The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the SFMS issued a press release regarding this issue.
