After four years, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) removed Pakistan from its “grey list.”This choice was made by the FATF at its plenary session on October 21 in Paris.

This disgraceful grey listing has affected Pakistan’s imports, exports, and remittances in addition to limiting Pakistan’s access to international investment.

Pakistan has been included on the FATF’s “grey list” since June 2018 as a result of shortcomings in its anti-terrorism financing and anti-money laundering policies.

Myanmar has now been placed on FATF’s “black list.” Myanmar has been added to the “black list,” a list of nations with a high risk of terrorist attacks.

Since 2020, Iran and North Korea have been placed on a “black list.”

Because Myanmar has been unable to stop illicit financial flows, the decision to include it was made.

The FATF recommended Myanmar to finish its action plan by October 2022 in June 2022.
