Pakistan given final lifeline, to remain in FATF grey list till February 2020
Yesterday’s question answered. For the nonce, anyway.
[DAWN] The Finan­cial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday formally announced that Pakistain will remain on its grey list for the next four months, handing it a final lifeline after acknowledging recent improvements.

The task force directed Islamabad to take more measures for complete elimination of terror financing and money laundering while expressing serious concerns over the lack of progress in addressing terror financing risks.

"The FATF strongly urges Pakistain to swiftly complete its full action plan by February 2020," it said in its statement. "Otherwise, should significant and sustainable progress not be made across the full range of its action plan by the next Plenary, the FATF will take action."

"Since June 2018, when Pakistain made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and the Asia-Pacific Group (APG) to strengthen its anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terror financing (CTF) regime and to address its strategic counter-terrorist financing-related deficiencies, Pakistain has made progress towards improving its AML/CFT regime, including the recent development of its money laundering / terror financing risk assessment," the FATF conceded.

#1 They have had to actually explore every known shade of grey to come up with an excuse to keep funding the gravy train of Pakistain's military junta.
