The United Arab Emirates' progress in strengthening measures to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing

This follow-up report sets out the progress that the United Arab Emirates, member of FATF-Style Regional Body MENAFATF and FATF member Gulf Council Co-operation, has made in improving its level of compliance with the FATF standards, since their 2020 mutual evaluation.  

Recommendation 6 is re-rated from partially compliant to compliant  

Recommendation 7 is re-rated from partially compliant to compliant

Recommendation 25 is re-rated from partially compliant to largely compliant

The follow-up report also assesses the implementation of FATF Recommendations that were modified since the country's mutual evaluation, as a result, Recommendation 15 was re-rated from largely compliant to partially compliant.
