Grupo de Accion Financiera de Sudamerica (GAFISUD)

The Grupo de Accion Financiera de Sudamerica (GAFISUD) is the South American Financial Action Task Force, created in December 2000 in Cartagena, Colombia. GAFISUD is a regional inter-governmental organisation which brings together the countries of South America in order to combat money laundering and terrorism financing by means of the continuous improvement of national policies and the strengthening of different methods of co-operation between its member states. 

Its members include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. GAFISUD was created by an inter­governmental agreement that left the door open for more countries to join. The group's secretariat is in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
