Nigeria to Get Off Grey List by May 2025 – CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced that the apex bank is engaging at the highest level to facilitate Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “grey list,” an anti-money laundering watchlist by May 2025.  

This was disclosed by a Deputy Governor of CBN, Ikeazor, at a parley with diaspora Nigerians on the sidelines of the IMF meetings in Washington DC, USA.  

The FATF added Nigeria to its grey list on February 24, 2024.

According to the CBN, Nigeria has fulfilled all the requirements to be out of the grey list and expects to be removed by early 2025.  

“Practically sending money home is impossible and if we are talking about driving remittances and FDI’s then we need to get out of the Grey List.  

“We have done a lot of work so far to get us off the Grey List. And like I promised in Houston (a previous parley held earlier in the week) I expect by May 2025 we shall be off the grey List. We have done all the work.” Ikeazor, the Deputy Governor of Financial System Stability of CBN, said.

In addition, the CBN governor, Yemi Cardoso, emphasized that Nigeria’s removal from the list was a key agenda during the bank’s recent engagements. 

“The team is focused on driving progress by identifying and resolving any bottleneck that hinders remittance flow through the formal channels into Nigeria. I’ll like to emphasize that we’re consulting at the highest level to remove Nigeria from the FATF grey list, a key topic in our recent engagement” Cardoso added.  

Commitment to growing remittances 

Speaking further, The CBN Governor reiterated the bank’s commitment to increasing remittances to $1 billion within the shortest possible time.

He explained that his team engaged with leading International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs) to boost inflows through formal channels.

Cardoso added that they also met with Nigeria’s diaspora communities to launch an account program and establish partnerships with Nigerian banks.

“In addition to our meetings with senior members of multilateral financial institutions, we had the opportunity to launch the non-resident account programme and engaged the diaspora communities in partnership with Nigerian banks.  

“Our team held productive discussions with leading IMTO when they collectively committed to growing remittance flow to $ 1 billion through formal channels into Nigeria.  

“This target is both ambitious and achievable and we are fully committed to mobilizing resources to reinforce the collaborative task force which I’m leading at the bank,” he said.
