The Financial Action Task Force of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says that it will hold its first plenary since adopting the Plan of Action to combat terrorist financing.

The plenary will be held in Hong Kong from January 30 to February 1. It will analyze the self-assessment of all FATF members against the eight Special Recommendations designed to deny terrorists and their supporters access to the international financial system and will discuss guidance for financial institutions on the mechanisms and techniques used to finance terrorism.

It will also discuss and update the list of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories which have critical deficiencies in their anti-money laundering systems or are unwilling to co-operate in anti-money laundering efforts.

The annual Typologies report, the survey of money laundering trends and techniques, will be available at the end of the meeting.
