A global financial crime watchdog on Friday said Qatar's technical compliance with its standards was very strong but the Gulf state needed to make improvements in its fight against money laundering, terrorism financing and other areas.
The Financial Action Task Force said Qatar needed to make it easier to get information on the ultimate ownership of companies and needed to strengthen measures to stop any financing of weapons of mass destruction.The governor of Qatar's Central Bank responded by thanking FATF, saying the country has been working for a decade to implement reforms in line with standards set by the Paris-based body.
The FATF commended Qatar for efforts to develop a stronger national understanding of money laundering and terrorist financing risks, confiscate criminal assets, supervise the financial and non-financial sectors and implement financial sanctions for terrorism financing.
