MONEYVAL acknowledges Jersey’s progress in combatting money laundering and financing of terrorism

In a new report the Council of Europe’s anti-money laundering body MONEYVAL commends the UK Crown Dependency of Jersey for taking steps to strengthen its legal and regulatory framework to combat money laundering (ML), financing of terrorism (FT) and financing of proliferation (FP). It also calls on the jurisdiction to further reinforce the practical application of its frameworks for investigations and prosecutions for ML, as well as the enforcement of sanctions related to AML/CFT preventative measures. 

The Council of Europe’s anti-money laundering body conducted a comprehensive assessment of the country’s level of compliance with international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). MONEYVAL concludes that, having significantly strengthened its legal framework since the last mutual evaluation, Jersey has most elements of an effective AML/CFT, but still needs to improve the implementation of measures in certain areas.

Jersey is expected to report back to MONEYVAL under its regular follow-up reporting process in December 2026.
