(Royal United Services Institute-UK) Tom Keatinge - The Financial Action Task Force - an international group that monitors money laundering worldwide - last month avoided a decision to return Iran to its blacklist of countries not doing enough to combat money laundering. FATF gave Iran until October to implement necessary reforms, otherwise it will decide upon "appropriate and necessary actions" - a return to the FATF blacklist. The view of the FATF is critical. To the extent the FATF warns of material failings in a country's anti-money laundering and counterterrorist finance (AML/CTF) standards, regulated financial services - the lifeblood of international trade and fund flows - are unlikely to support economic engagement. FATF's latest statement, albeit short of issuing its ultimate sanction, provides support for those seeking to isolate Iran from the global economy.
