This conclusion is contained in the regular report of the Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL Committee, published on June 26.
The Committee notes that Romania has made limited progress in addressing technical compliance deficiencies affecting the application of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations on specific financial sanctions, virtual assets and virtual asset service providers, and statistics. The report emphasizes that the progress made is insufficient to improve the compliance ratings for the four recommendations under review, which continue to be rated as “partially compliant”.
Of the 40 FATF recommendations, Romania is still rated as compliant with seven recommendations, mostly compliant with 18 recommendations, and partially compliant with 15 recommendations.
On this basis, Romania will remain under the enhanced MONEYVAL monitoring procedure. The country is expected to report on overall progress in strengthening measures to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in May 2026.
Recall that in the report on Moldova, published on June 19, MONEYVAL removed our country from monitoring.
