FATF
Paris, 19 December 2024 - Oman has significantly improved its legal, operational and supervisory framework on anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing (AML/CFT) in recent years through robust technical compliance with the FATF Recommendations. Oman is achieving positive results in the use of financial intelligence, international cooperation, combating terrorist financing and implementing financial sanctions for proliferation financing. However, in some areas, more time and effort are needed for measures and reforms introduced to impact the effectiveness of Oman's AML/CFT system.
European Public Prosecutor's Office
