FIU Curaçao Plays a Key Role in CFATF Mutual Evaluation of Curacao 2025

Curaçao recently underwent a mutual evaluation as part of the ongoing efforts by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to assess member jurisdictions’ compliance with international standards on anti-money laundering (AML), countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), and countering the financing of proliferation (CFP).

As the national authority responsible for receiving, analyzing, and disseminating suspicious transaction reports (STRs), FIU Curaçao played a central role in the preparation and execution of this important process. Our involvement included:

• Providing detailed information on FIU operations, including our legal framework, UTR / STR analysis procedures, and case studies;
• Demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategic and operational analysis in contributing to investigations and prosecutions;
• Collaborating with key stakeholders across government, law enforcement, and the private sector to present a unified and accurate picture of Curaçao’s AML/CFT/CFP regime;
• Participating in meetings and interviews with the evaluation team to clarify our mandate, capabilities, and results.

The mutual evaluation is a critical tool in measuring the robustness of our systems and identifying areas for improvement. For FIU Curaçao, this process has reaffirmed our commitment to continuous development and international cooperation.
