In a significant endorsement of India’s financial integrity framework, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has acknowledged the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) strong performance in tracing, freezing, and recovering assets linked to economic offences and money laundering. The global watchdog, which monitors compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) standards, cited India’s progress in asset recovery, enforcement action, and coordination among agencies as a notable success in its latest review.
