The Pakistani delegation, headed by Economic Affairs Minister Hammad Azhar, will defend the corrective measures taken this year for an upgrade of Pakistan’s level of compliance with the FATF recommendations.After being placed on the grey list in June 2018, the situation in Pakistan is under scrutiny to analyze its level of compliance with the FATF 40 recommendations and the level of effectiveness with the AML/CTF system.
In fact, recommendations were made and an action plan was elaborated to strengthen the Pakistani system and address the problems by October 2019.
The FATF institution will communicate its decision the last day of the October Week. If the action plan was correctly addressed, Pakistan should disappear from the grey list, differently the country could either remain on the grey list until February 2020 or join the 2 other black listed countries : Iran and North Korea.
