Jamaica has been invited to participate in the Financial Action Task Force's prestigious FSRB Jurisdictions Guest Initiative - a move the Ministry of Finance says signals strong international confidence in the country's financial reforms.
The one-year initiative, starting with the FATF Plenary in Paris this October, will allow Jamaica to take part in high-level policy discussions under its own flag.
Jamaica's national delegation will attend three consecutive plenary meetings and technical working sessions, contributing to global efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
Finance Minister Fayval Williams welcomed the invitation, calling it "a strong vote of confidence" in the country's progress.
She noted that Jamaica was removed from the FATF's grey list in June 2024 after implementing key legislative and institutional reforms.
Minister Williams added that the invitation reflects Jamaica's growing leadership within the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force and its commitment to maintaining international trust in its financial system.
