The current list comprises <\/span><b>Algeria, Angola, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Kenya, Kuwait, Lao PDR, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, South Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Vietnam, Virgin Islands (UK), and Yemen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, <\/span><b>Kuwait and Papua New Guinea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been newly added to this monitoring list following the February plenary, reflecting emerging concerns around regulatory gaps and enforcement challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FATF clarified that while enhanced scrutiny is recommended, these classifications <\/span><b>do not prohibit legitimate trade or business transactions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the listed jurisdictions. Instead, financial institutions are expected to adopt a <\/span><b>risk-based approach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, strengthening compliance and monitoring mechanisms in line with global standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The periodic FATF listings play a crucial role in safeguarding the international financial system by identifying vulnerabilities and compelling jurisdictions to strengthen their defenses against illicit financial flows, including money laundering and terrorism financing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>09 March 2026: IFSCA Wraps Up Open House Series to Strengthen SEZ Compliance at GIFT IFSC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office of the Administrator at International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has successfully concluded a structured series of Open House Sessions aimed at improving clarity and compliance around SEZ regulations within GIFT City IFSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launched on January 6, 2026, the initiative brought together over 230 regulated entities (REs) across 14 sessions, covering a wide spectrum of sectors including aircraft and ship leasing, fund management, banking, insurance, capital markets, fintech, and ancillary services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sessions served as a formal platform for industry participants to engage directly with the regulator, discuss operational challenges, and seek guidance on SEZ-related procedures. Key areas of focus included documentation standards, approval timelines, reporting obligations, and lifecycle compliance requirements. IFSCA also used the forum to clarify regulatory provisions and identify opportunities for procedural simplification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond SEZ-specific issues, the discussions extended to broader IFSCA regulatory frameworks, enabling a coordinated approach to cross-regulatory compliance. This helped address ambiguities and provided businesses with greater regulatory certainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initiative underscores IFSCA\u2019s commitment to fostering a transparent, responsive, and business-friendly ecosystem at GIFT IFSC. Notably, following the Central Government\u2019s notification dated February 28, 2024, the Administrator at IFSCA now exercises the powers of the Development Commissioner under the SEZ Act, 2005-further strengthening its role in shaping the IFSC regulatory landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>16 March 2026: IFSCA Unveils Revamped FinTech Sandbox Framework to Accelerate Innovation in GIFT IFSC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has approved a revamped FinTech Sandbox Framework aimed at accelerating innovation within India\u2019s GIFT IFSC ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building on its earlier 2022 sandbox guidelines, the updated framework reflects global fintech trends and incorporates feedback from industry participants. It introduces a more structured and inclusive approach to testing new financial products and solutions across sectors such as banking, capital markets, insurance, funds, pensions, commodities, and financial support services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key highlight of the revised framework is the expansion of eligibility. For the first time, individuals and groups affiliated with recognized academic institutions, incubators, and accelerators-both in India and other FATF-compliant jurisdictions-can participate. This move is expected to deepen collaboration between academia and the financial ecosystem while encouraging early-stage innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application process has also been streamlined into a two-stage digital system via the Single Window IT System (SWIT). Applicants will undergo a preliminary evaluation within 30 days, followed by a final assessment within 60 days, offering greater clarity and predictability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, approvals will now follow a two-step structure. Selected applicants will first receive an In-Principle Approval (IPA), potentially with conditions such as onboarding a testing partner. Upon meeting these conditions, they will be granted a Limited Use Authorisation (LUA), enabling controlled market testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importantly, the framework now allows fintech firms to explore market opportunities within IFSC for already developed products, marking a shift from pure experimentation to commercialization readiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, the scope of sandbox testing has been significantly broadened to include all financial services and products regulated-or proposed to be regulated-by IFSCA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the updated framework is designed to strengthen innovation pipelines, expand participation, and facilitate real-world testing, positioning GIFT IFSC as a more dynamic global fintech hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>19 March 2026: IFSCA Hosts Talent Summit 2026 to Position GIFT City as Global Talent Hub<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) successfully hosted the second edition of its flagship event, the IFSCA Talent Summit 2026, on March 19, 2026, at GIFT City, Gandhinagar. Building on the momentum of its inaugural edition in 2024, the summit reinforced India\u2019s ambition to establish GIFT City as a leading global financial and talent hub.\u00a0 Organised under the theme <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShaping Global Talent for India and the World,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the summit focused on developing a future-ready workforce to support the rapidly evolving financial services ecosystem. The initiative aligns with the Government of India\u2019s broader vision of transforming GIFT IFSC into a world-class international financial centre.\u00a0 The event witnessed participation from key policymakers, industry leaders, and academic institutions. Among the distinguished attendees were Harsh Sanghavi, P. K. Mishra, K. Rajaraman, Uday Kotak, and Rishad Premji, along with senior government officials, CXOs, and academic leaders from India and abroad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his address, Harsh Sanghavi highlighted GIFT City\u2019s transformation into a symbol of Gujarat\u2019s progressive growth and reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to creating a holistic \u201cWork and Live in GIFT City\u201d ecosystem. P. K. Mishra emphasized India\u2019s emergence as a trusted global partner and underscored the importance of human capital development in achieving the vision of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viksit Bharat 2047<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFSCA Chairperson K. Rajaraman stressed the critical role of a skilled workforce in positioning GIFT IFSC as a global financial hub, supported by progressive tax and regulatory frameworks. Uday Kotak reflected on the long-term vision behind GIFT City and outlined key structural drivers, including regulatory coherence and ease of living, that will support its global competitiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rishad Premji highlighted the growing importance of digital transformation, continuous learning, and industry\u2013academia collaboration, noting that India is poised to become a global talent destination in an AI-driven world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The summit featured multiple panel discussions and strategic announcements, including new academic programmes by international universities and employment generation initiatives within GIFT IFSC. Key discussions revolved around global career opportunities, the development of a tri-city knowledge corridor across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and GIFT City, and the role of foreign universities in delivering industry-relevant education.\u00a0 Overall, the event served as a significant platform for fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and policymakers, reinforcing GIFT IFSC\u2019s positioning as a global hub for financial services talent and innovation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>19 March 2026: IFSCA Tightens Oversight on Capital Market Intermediaries in GIFT IFSC; Flags Compliance Gaps<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has intensified its supervisory oversight of Capital Market Intermediaries (CMIs) operating within the GIFT International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure regulatory compliance and operational substance in the jurisdiction. As part of these efforts, the regulator has undertaken multiple rounds of market intelligence visits to the registered office premises of CMIs. These inspections were aimed at verifying the actual presence of key managerial personnel, including Principal Officers and Compliance Officers, as well as assessing the adequacy of infrastructure in line with the provisions of the IFSCA Capital Market Intermediaries Regulations, 2025. During these visits, IFSCA identified several instances of non-compliance across intermediaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of CMIs were found to be either closed or unattended during business hours on multiple occasions, raising concerns around operational legitimacy. In several cases, neither the Principal Officer nor the Compliance Officer was present at the premises, and there was no authorised staff available to respond to regulatory queries. The regulator also observed instances where a single individual was assigned both roles-creating potential governance risks-and cases where prior warnings had not resulted in corrective action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, IFSCA noted that some designated officers lacked adequate understanding of the applicable regulatory framework. In certain inspections, only back-office staff were present, indicating a lack of front-line operational oversight. Infrastructure deficiencies were another key concern, with some intermediaries lacking the necessary physical and operational setup required to conduct their business effectively. The regulator also flagged practices inconsistent with regulatory expectations. These included the use of remote access software such as Anydesk and Ultraviewer for trading activities, as well as situations where Compliance Officers were directly involved in trading operations-posing clear conflicts of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFSCA stated that these observations indicate violations of specific provisions under the CMI Regulations, particularly those relating to the presence of key managerial personnel within IFSC and the maintenance of adequate infrastructure. Following these findings, the Authority has initiated appropriate regulatory actions against the concerned intermediaries in accordance with the applicable framework. IFSCA has reiterated its directive to all CMIs to ensure genuine operational substance, strict adherence to regulatory requirements, and compliance with all circulars and guidelines. The regulator emphasized its continued commitment to upholding high standards of governance and fostering a transparent, robust financial ecosystem within the GIFT IFSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>25 March 2026: IIBX Granted QCCP Status, Strengthens GIFT IFSC\u2019s Global Bullion Ecosystem<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a significant step towards strengthening India\u2019s international financial architecture, the India International Bullion Exchange (IFSC) Limited has been granted recognition to operate both as a bullion exchange and a bullion clearing corporation within the GIFT International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recognition has been accorded by the International Financial Services Centres Authority under the framework of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, along with the IFSCA Act and the IFSCA (Bullion Market) Regulations, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of this development, IIBX\u2019s clearing arm has been granted the status of a <\/span><b>Qualifying Central Counterparty (QCCP)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-a globally recognized designation that reflects high standards of risk management, governance, and regulatory oversight. This status is particularly important for financial institutions, as exposures to QCCPs typically attract more favorable capital treatment under international banking norms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The designation underscores that IIBX operates under a robust regulatory framework aligned with global best practices. Specifically, it adheres to the <\/span><b>Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> issued by the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures and the International Organization of Securities Commissions. These principles, introduced in 2012, aim to enhance the safety, efficiency, and transparency of financial market infrastructures while reducing systemic risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFSCA, being a member of IOSCO, has reiterated its commitment to implementing these global standards within the GIFT IFSC ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given its systemic importance, IIBX has also been designated as a <\/span><b>Market Infrastructure Institution (MII)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, placing it under stringent regulatory supervision and oversight. This ensures continuous compliance with PFMI norms and reinforces confidence among global participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the QCCP recognition marks a key milestone in positioning GIFT IFSC as a credible and globally competitive hub for bullion trading and financial market infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FATF Flags High-Risk Jurisdictions, Expands Monitoring List in February 2026 Update The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has reaffirmed its vigilance over global financial systems, releasing its latest update on high-risk and monitored jurisdictions following its plenary held on February 13, 2026.
