#### Algeria’s Mutual Evaluation Report, May 2023
Algeria has taken positive steps but lacks a complete understanding of ML/TF risks. Competent authorities access financial information effectively, but parallel financial investigations are insufficient. ML investigations and prosecutions are relatively low. Algeria focuses on confiscation to combat ML, but there is no framework for implementing UN TFS related to CPF. The understanding and application of CDD measures vary among FIs and DNFBPs, needing improvement. Licensing controls help prevent criminal control of FIs/DNFBPs, but penalties for non-compliance are absent. Algeria lacks an assessment of legal person misuse but has limited measures to prevent it. Legal assistance requests are executed timely and effectively.
No re-ratings were made.

#### Chad’s Mutual Evaluation Report, July 2023
Chad’s understanding of ML/TF risks is low, with no sector risk assessment. A national AML/CFT coordination authority is absent. ANIF receives few suspicious transaction reports, lacking feedback from judicial authorities. Financial investigations focus on embezzlement, overlooking money laundering due to resource and training shortages. Seizure of criminal proceeds is effective, but confiscation implementation is lacking. No government agency administers seized property, impacting future confiscations. Financial institutions understand AML/CFT obligations better than DNFBPs. Some competent authorities prevent criminals from holding key positions, but due diligence is insufficient in high-risk sectors. Supervision authorities have limited perception of ML/TF risks, hindering a risk-based approach. VASPs are unregulated. International cooperation for ML/TF cases is rare, lacking clear procedures.
No re-ratings were made.

#### Gabon’s Mutual Evaluation Report, July 2023
Gabon’s ML and TF risks are inadequately addressed due to a lack of understanding and operational coordination. Competent authorities underutilize financial intelligence, suffer from limited resources, and lack a well-defined criminal policy. Gabon’s AML/CFT policies do not align with the country’s risks, resulting in few ML prosecutions. TF is not prioritized, and there are deficiencies in implementing targeted financial sanctions. Weak AML/CFT supervision and inadequate sanctions further exacerbate the problem. Financial institutions and DNFBPs struggle with compliance, and beneficial owner identification remains challenging. Though registration requirements exist, enforcement is lacking. International cooperation mechanisms are inactive, hindering effective responses to requests.
No re-ratings were made.

#### Turkey’s 3rd Enhanced Follow-Up Report and Technical Compliance Re-Rating, July 2023
Türkiye has made significant progress in addressing technical compliance deficiencies identified in its MER. It received upgrades on several Recommendations (R.8, R.12, R.15, R.22, R.26, and R.28). However, there are still some concerns. Provisions introduced by Law 7262 are deemed disproportionate given the country’s risk and context. As a result, Recommendation 8 is re-rated as Largely Compliant. Türkiye has taken steps to address PEP requirements, leading to Recommendation 12 being re-rated as Compliant. For VAs and VASPs, the country conducted risk analysis, but shortcomings in AML/CFT measures resulted in Recommendation 15 being re-rated as Partially Compliant. Other recommendations (R.22 and R.26) have been re-rated as Largely Compliant and Compliant, respectively. Despite significant improvements, minor deficiencies remain in Recommendation 28, leading to a Largely Compliant rating. Türkiye will continue reporting progress to the FATF in its fifth-round mutual evaluation.

#### Slovenia’s 5th Enhanced Follow-Up Report, May 2023
Slovenia has made progress in addressing compliance deficiencies, resulting in upgraded ratings for Recommendations 15 and 32. However, due to a lack of progress, no analysis was done for Recommendation 5. The plenary recommends postponing any further decisions until December 2023, when progress on Recommendation 5 will be reviewed. Slovenia will continue reporting on its AML/CFT measures during this period.

#### The UAE’s 3rd Enhanced Follow-Up Report and Technical Compliance Re-Rating, June 2023
The UAE received ratings from the reviewing experts in various recommendations and criteria related to AML/CFT. The UAE was rated „Largely Compliant“ in Recommendation 1, which deals with assessing ML/TF risks comprehensively. Additionally, the UAE achieved a „Compliant“ rating in Recommendation 19, covering the transparency and beneficial ownership of legal arrangements. Moreover, the UAE received a „Compliant“ rating in Recommendation 29, focusing on financial intelligence units‘ access to information. However, some recommendations still remain partially compliant. Consequently, the UAE is under the Enhanced Follow-Up process until it submits the fourth Enhanced Follow-Up Report in April/May 2024.
