\nAmong the options provided, Turkey and UAE were both placed in the ‘Grey List’ of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) relatively recently (as of early-mid 2022, the likely timeframe for such a question).
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The FATF Grey List comprises jurisdictions under increased monitoring, meaning they are actively working with FATF to address strategic deficiencies in their regimes to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing.
\n– Turkey was added to the FATF Grey List in October 2021 and removed in February 2024.
\n– The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was added to the FATF Grey List in March 2022 and removed in February 2024.
\n– Both countries were simultaneously on the Grey List from March 2022 until February 2024.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Other countries listed in options have either not been on the grey list recently or not concurrently in the pair provided. Mozambique was added in June 2022 but removed in June 2023. Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Iraq, and Qatar have varied histories with FATF lists, but the pairing in option D represents recent, concurrent listings that were significant news. The phrasing “recently placed” suggests a period roughly coinciding with the question’s likely origin.
