The Asia Pacific Group (APG) on Money Laundering is reviewing Pakistan’s policies and practices surrounding money laundering and terrorist financing. The group has recommended a series of changes that would improve the government’s ability to monitor money laundering and terrorism financing, as well as make them extraditable offenses. Previous reviews and recommendations by the Financial Action Task Force placed the country on the “grey list,” of money laundering and terrorist financing, a designation Pakistan is working to remove by its next update in September 2019.
