FATF’s Stance about Turkey
Turkey was added to the grey list by the terror finance and money laundering watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) back in 2021. FATF added Turkey to the grey list as FATF couldn’t keep up its confidence in Turkey’s financial status due to the high inflation rate and mismanagement in the financial system. Since then, Turkey has been working on complying with FATF.
Crypto Can Be A Savior For Turkey
Turkey is facing a high inflation rate and is under the dark cloud of staggering finance. Amid such circumstances, Tukey has a high hope of getting out of this chaotic financial state. It is believed that by being out of the grey list and back to the crypto industry, Turkey might get financially stable and in that way, crypto can act as a saviour for Turkey.
