While the update mentions money or value transfer services (Recommendation 14) as an area where Indonesia achieved compliance, the content is primarily a high-level AML/CTF mutual evaluation assessment rather than specific payments regulation.
The update references money or value transfer services compliance, which relates tangentially to remittance provider oversight, but the focus is on general AML/CTF framework assessment rather than remittance-specific regulation.
Specialism
The update directly addresses Indonesia's progress in strengthening AML/CTF measures, with specific focus on terrorist financing sanctions compliance (Recommendation 6) and suspicious transaction reporting, which are core AML/CTF regulatory activities.
The FATF assessment includes evaluation of Indonesia's targeted financial sanctions framework for terrorism and terrorist financing, which is a key sanctions compliance component.

TITLE: Financial Action Task Force Upgrades Indonesia's Terrorist Financing Sanctions Compliance Rating
BODY:
On June 3, 2026, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) published Indonesia's Third Enhanced Follow-Up Report assessing the country's progress in strengthening anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) measures since its 2023 mutual evaluation report (MER).
Indonesia has made measurable progress in addressing technical compliance deficiencies identified in the 2023 assessment. The FATF re-rated Recommendation 6 (targeted financial sanctions related to terrorism and terrorist financing) from Partially Compliant to Compliant, reflecting improvements in this critical area. Indonesia now has seven recommendations rated Compliant, 30 rated Largely Compliant, and three remaining Partially Compliant. Key areas where Indonesia achieved Compliant ratings include the money laundering offence (Recommendation 3), money or value transfer services (Recommendation 14), reporting of suspicious transactions (Recommendation 20), financial intelligence units (Recommendation 29), and law enforcement responsibilities (Recommendation 30). Recommendations requiring continued focus include beneficial ownership transparency for legal arrangements (Recommendation 25), non-profit organisation controls (Recommendation 8), and regulation and supervision of designated non-financial businesses and professions (Recommendation 28).
Indonesia's improvements demonstrate its commitment to strengthening its AML/CTF framework through legislative and operational enhancements. The country remains subject to FATF mutual evaluation procedures and will continue reporting on progress against remaining deficiencies. The full Enhanced Follow-Up Report is available on the FATF website and provides detailed technical compliance ratings across all 40 FATF Recommendations.
