Budget2023 | Amid expectations that South Africa will be added to the global anti-money laundering body's grey list on Friday, Treasury says the country needs more prosecutions and the freezing of more assets to demonstrate its compliance.

"We should be prepared for that possibility," said Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana of grey-listing in his Budget speech on Wednesday.

Government has prepared for the eventuality of being grey-listed, said acting director-general Ismail Momoniat, who has been in consultations with the Financial Action Task Force , a global body that monitors compliance with anti-money laundering and combatting terrorism financing measures, over the past weeks.If South Africa joins the grey list, it means that other countries will require"increased monitoring" when doing business with local companies and individuals.
