Pakistan likely to exit global watchdog FATF's grey list on Friday

Firstpost  

With Pakistan’s continuation on the grey list, it had increasingly become difficult for Islamabad to get financial aid from the IMF, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Union, thus further enhancing problems for the cash-strapped country New Delhi: After four years, Pakistan on Friday may exit the grey list of the global watchdog on terror financing and money laundering FATF, a development that will allow it to try to get foreign funding to tide over its precarious financial situation. Till June, Pakistan had completed most of the action items given to it in 2018 by the Financial Action Task Force and a few item which were left unfulfilled including its failure to take action against UN designated terrorists, including Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, Lashker-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and his trusted aide and the group’s ‘operational commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. The FATF had found Pakistan’s deficiencies in its legal, financial, regulatory, investigations, prosecution, judicial and non-government sector to fight money laundering and combat terror financing considered serious threat to global financial system. With Pakistan’s continuation on the grey list, it had increasingly become difficult for Islamabad to get financial aid from the IMF, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Union, thus further enhancing problems for the cash-strapped country.
