On February 10, 2026, Fiji's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) announced that the National AML Council endorsed Fiji's second comprehensive National Risk Assessment (NRA) in 2025. The NRA identified and assessed Fiji's risk exposure across three key areas of financial crime. Using quantitative and qualitative data from various sources, the assessment concluded that money laundering risk in Fiji is high, while terrorist financing risk is low and proliferation financing risk is low. The NRA represents a comprehensive evaluation of Fiji's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing framework, examining vulnerabilities and threats across the financial system and related sectors. National Risk Assessments are critical tools for countries to understand their exposure to money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. The findings inform the development and refinement of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing policies, regulatory measures, and resource allocation across relevant authorities and financial institutions. The high money laundering risk assessment indicates that Fiji faces significant exposure to money laundering threats, which may necessitate enhanced preventative measures and compliance requirements for financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions operating in the jurisdiction. The full NRA report is available on the Fiji Financial Intelligence Unit website. Financial institutions, designated non-financial businesses and professions, and other relevant stakeholders should review the assessment to understand Fiji's risk profile and ensure their compliance frameworks and risk management procedures align with identified vulnerabilities and threats. **Reference:** Fiji Financial Intelligence Unit.
