On 7 October, FATF published the MER for South Africa, which was adopted at the Plenary in June. Its conclusions include that South Africa has a solid legal framework to fight money laundering and terrorist financing but has significant shortcomings implementing an effective system, including a failure to pursue serious cases. The MER resulted from an IMF staff-led evaluation and joint assessment by FATF-style regional body, the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG). The onsite visit took place in October/November 2019.
