The United Kingdom has removed Mauritius from its list of high-risk countries under the UK Money
Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) (No. 3) (high-risk countries) Regulations 2021.
This development follows the exit, in October 2021, of Mauritius from the FATF list of jurisdictions
under increased monitoring. It also underlines the country’s sustained efforts in the fight against
money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing. The decision of the British
authorities further enhances confidence and trust in the financial services sector and in Mauritius as
an international financial centre.
The Bank of Mauritius remains committed to continuously engage with all stakeholders to ensure
the sustainability and effectiveness of its AML/CFT system.
