After three years of being listed as a country prone to money laundering and terrorist financing, Indonesia can now breathe a sigh of relief. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has declared that Indonesia will no longer be subject to monitoring by FATF. According to FATF’s official website, Indonesia has shown significant progress in addressing strategic anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT).“Indonesia is declared clean and no longer under FATF observation,” said M. Yusuf, the Head of Indonesia Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), who confirmed the recent updates from FATF.
The blacklist itself is a statement made by FATF, which lists countries that are yet to implement AML/CFT. It serves as a reminder list for other countries, so that they become more cautious when undertaking financial transactions with countries included on the list.
Mr. Yusuf explained that Indonesia was blacklisted because it failed to comply with FATF recommendations covering the criminalization of money laundering, terrorism funding and the freezing of assets of terrorist suspects listed by the United Nations (UN).
Indonesia has continued to implement the necessary measures, in particular by passing Law No. 9 of 2013 on Prevention and Eradication of Terrorism Funding Activities. This was followed up with issue of a joint regulation in February 2015 between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Police, PPATK, National Anti-Terrorism Board (BNPT), and the Supreme Court.
These measures have shown positive results with IDR 2,083 trillion in 26 accounts being frozen for suspected money laundering and terrorism activities. Mr. Yusuf believes that all the institutions involved have had a significant role in this success and says that similar cooperation must be continued in the future.
Many believe that being “delisted” from FATF monitoring should bring about positive impacst. For instance, it may boost Indonesia’s investment rating grade. It is also a proof that Indonesia is committed to fighting money laundering and terrorism.
“This will improve future investments, and ease banking activities to and from Indonesia,” said Hasan Kleib, Director General for Multilateral Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs .
