Introduction
Mauritius has earned globalrecognition forits swift and
determined reforms in AntiMoney Laundering and Countering the
Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT). In a remarkably short span,the
country exited the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list
—an achievementfew jurisdictions accomplish with such speed.
By September 2022, Mauritius had achieved "Compliant" or
"Largely Compliant" ratings across all 40 FATF
Recommendations,reflecting a strong regulatory framework and
unwavering political commitment.
As the country prepares forits next Eastern and Southern Africa
Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) Mutual Evaluation in 2027, a
less visible but equally criticalthreat demands attention:
Proliferation Financing (PF).Often overshadowed by money laundering
and terroristfinancing, PF poses a globalrisk with directlocal
implications.
