FATF to conduct inspection of Malta this summer

The Financial Action Task Force will be conducting an on-site visit in Malta during the first half of the year, following its declaration that Malta had substantially completed its action plan to get off the FATF greylist.

Malta has completed a number of reforms in the financial sector which the FATF said were necessary in order to meet international standards.

Last year Malta was placed on a so-called grey list by FATF and the government has implemented a number of reforms since then with the objective of getting the approval of the FATF.
