The Financial Action Task Force has removed South Africa from its greylist, ending a two-year period of increased monitoring for anti-money laundering deficiencies. The decision, announced on October 24, 2025, follows the completion of 22 action items and highlights improvements in investigations and prosecutions. Experts praise the swift progress but stress the need for sustained enforcement to avoid future relisting.
