Financial-crime reference
Official AML/CFT reference data
The two FATF public lists of monitored jurisdictions and aggregate counts from the US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, reproduced exactly as the issuing bodies state them. This is a reference register, not a scoring engine: FinObservatory assigns no risk score, ranking, or risk label of its own to any country. A country that is not on a FATF list is shown as not listed, not rated “low risk.”
The two FATF lists
After each plenary, the Financial Action Task Force publishes two lists of jurisdictions with strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. Membership below is as recorded at the Jun 19, 2026 statement. List titles are quoted verbatim; “black list” and “grey list” are informal names, not FATF terminology.

FATF assessment ratings
FATF also publishes, per assessed jurisdiction, 40 technical-compliance ratings (Recommendations R.1-R.40) and 11 effectiveness ratings (Immediate Outcomes IO.1-IO.11). FinObservatory does not currently reproduce these ratings. The consolidated ratings workbook is served only from fatf-gafi.org, which is behind a site-wide Cloudflare bot-management challenge that returns HTTP 403 to every automated client, and no secondary source republishes the full per-country, per-indicator matrix. Rather than publish invented or estimated ratings, this section is left empty by design; it will populate only if the source becomes reachable.

OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN)
Aggregate counts only, from the OFAC SDN snapshot dated Jul 1, 2026 (19,129 entries). FinObservatory publishes no name-level sanctions data; for any screening, use the official OFAC search.
By entry type
Entry types are a mutually exclusive partition summing to the 19,129 total.
Top sanctions programs
The 10 largest of 74 distinct OFAC programs, by number of designated entries. An entry can carry more than one program, so these counts overlap and do not sum to the total.
| Program code | Entries designated |
|---|---|
| RUSSIA-EO14024 | 6,353 |
| SDGT | 3,183 |
| IFSR | 1,532 |
| SDNTK | 1,400 |
| NPWMD | 1,167 |

Reading this register
- These are the issuing bodies’ own official designations, reproduced verbatim as to membership and count. FinObservatory adds no risk score, ranking, or editorial risk label to any country.
- FATF list membership reflects a specific recorded plenary and changes at each meeting; OFAC designations change continuously. Read both as of their stated vintage and verify against the official source before any operational use.
- This module is reference information, not legal, compliance, sanctions-screening, or investment advice. See the methodology for definitions, vintages, the aggregates-only decision, and license notes.
