The Caribbean Financial Action Task Force has published St. Kitts and Nevis’ fourth enhanced follow-up report, concluding that the jurisdiction has made further progress in addressing technical compliance deficiencies identified in its 2022 mutual evaluation. The report re-rates four FATF recommendations, upgrading Recommendation 4 on confiscation and provisional measures from Partially Compliant to Compliant, and Recommendations 24, 36 and 39 from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant. As a result, St. Kitts and Nevis is now rated Compliant or Largely Compliant on 35 of the 40 FATF Recommendations. The follow-up report was prepared under CFATF’s enhanced follow-up process and reviews progress in strengthening the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework. CFATF said the exercise evaluates technical compliance only, rather than effectiveness. The report states that St. Kitts and Nevis demonstrated sufficient progress for the four upgrades, while other recommendations remained under review within the follow-up process.
