Berlin June 17 2022: At its meeting, FATF made the initial determination Pakistan has substantially completed its two action plans and warrants an on-site visit to verify the implementation of reforms has begun and is being sustained, the global money laundering watchdog comments in a statement.

Pakistan’s continued political commitment to combating both terrorist financing and money laundering has led to significant progress
It should be noted that in the year 2018, Pakistan was made a part of the FATF gray list, after which the number of countries investing in Pakistan had decreased slightly.
