Cayman hosts sanctions forum ahead of UK FATF presidency
In early March, the Cayman Islands became the first British Overseas Territory to host the UK government’s key sanctions forum. Organised by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the FCDO Sanctions Forum hosted delegates from the UK, Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
The event, which ran from 3-5 March, comes at a key time for both the UK and Cayman. The UK is set to assume the presidency of the Financial Action Task Force in July and used the forum to highlight its likely priorities. For Cayman, hosting the forum was a chance to showcase the jurisdiction’s sanctions readiness ahead of the looming FATF evaluation in 2027.
