FATF status is not a sanctions designation. Countries outside this reference are not assessed here. U.S. thematic programs and EU, UK or UN measures need separate review.
Primary sources: OFAC programs directory; FATF increased monitoring and call for action statements. Snapshot checked 2026-10-21. OFAC “directory update” dates belong to individual program listings, not the start of every restriction.
These programs may affect parties or activities in countries that have no separate country-program entry above.
This reference presents source facts and links, not a risk score. Review the official material for later changes, licensing, exclusions and the scope of each measure.
There is no single country list that answers every sanctions question. OFAC administers country-related and thematic programs with different restrictions. A program can target particular people, sectors, activities or territories. Its appearance here does not mean every person or payment connected to that country is prohibited.
Open the official program page to examine applicable restrictions, authorizations and recent actions. Identify the people, companies, intermediaries and ownership interests relevant to the transaction. A name search and a country lookup each cover only part of that review.
This first view maps the country-related programs in the OFAC directory and the FATF statements cited below. Thematic OFAC programs can apply worldwide. EU, UK and UN measures require separate review. An unmapped country is not an all-clear result.
Not necessarily. FATF increased monitoring concerns strategic weaknesses in a jurisdiction’s financial-crime controls. Sanctions are imposed under separate authorities. This explorer presents those facts separately.
No. It means this reference has no country-specific mapping for that location. Worldwide thematic programs, designated parties, ownership rules, regional restrictions and other authorities may still apply.
No. Use the dated source links to inform your review. The tool does not determine applicable law, licensing, ownership or whether a particular transaction is permitted.
