The Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”) published Türkiye’s 5th Round Mutual Evaluation Report (the “Report”) on 23.09.2026, assessing Türkiye’s framework for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing.
The Report assesses Türkiye’s technical compliance with the FATF 40 Recommendations and the effectiveness of its framework in practice as at the on-site visit conducted between 11-28.11.2025, and sets out the areas requiring further improvement as well as the key actions Türkiye is expected to implement over the next 3 years.
According to FATF’s assessment, Türkiye is rated “Compliant” or “Largely Compliant” with 38 of the 40 Recommendations. In terms of effectiveness, Türkiye achieved a “Substantial Level of Effectiveness” in 3 of the 11 Immediate Outcomes (“IOs”) and a “Moderate Level of Effectiveness” in the remaining 8. As a result of the assessment, Türkiye has been placed under enhanced follow-up and its progress will be monitored by FATF.
