BERLIN: Pakistan is likely to exit from Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list as the announcement in this regard will be made in a presser by Dr Marcus Pleyer today.
The plenary meeting of the FATF has reviewed the compilation report of Pakistan with regard to the tasks assigned by the anti-money laundering body.
If we get on #FATF whitelist today, Imported Govt will probably try to take credit. But everyone must know that since Regime Change, there have been no laws related to FATF that they have passed, hence if this success on FATF comes, it will be another #ThankYouImranKhan event!
