The four-day meeting of the global anti-money laundering body, began on February 22 and today is its last day.

The meeting will review Pakistan’s measures against money laundering and decide whether it has done enough to exit grey-list.

Pakistan sent its report to FATF for consideration according to which Pakistan has shown improvement in compliance on anti-money laundering and combating financing terror (AML/CFT) systems.

Pakistan has been shown improving compliance on two out of 40 recommendations of the FATF on effectiveness of AML/CFT systems.

Ahead of the plenary the FATF had updated the overall performance of all countries.
