Attorney General John Jeremie called on the opposition and independent senators to support the passage of the Miscellaneous Provisions (FATF Compliance) Bill, 2025 and the Counter-Proliferation Financing Bill, 2025 so that TT could pass the upcoming assessment of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) mutual evaluation report, due in 2026.

The FATF Compliance bill was passed in the Senate with 23 votes for, no votes against and seven abstentions. The Counter-Proliferation Financing Bill, 2025 was passed with 30 votes for, no votes against and no abstentions.

Piloting the bill in the Senate on September 26, Jeremie said the bills are intended to ensure that TT gives effect to this country’s obligations as a member of the international community where financial matters are concerned and particularly as a member of the Caribbean FATF (CFATF).
