Since 2021, Mauritius is fully whitelisted by the FATF, United Kingdom, and European Union, confirming its adherence to international regulatory and AML/CFT standards. These endorsements reflect the country’s ongoing commitment to transparency, effective supervision, improved legal, regulatory and enforcement measures in the fight against ML/FT.
