India to Lobby for Pakistan’s Re-inclusion on FATF Grey List

New Delhi is reportedly planning to urge the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to reinstate Pakistan on its “grey list.” According to a high-ranking government official in New Delhi, this move is based on concerns regarding financial crime.

Pakistan was removed from the FATF’s grey list in 2022, a development that improved its standing with international lenders and was crucial for its struggling economy.

Furthermore, the source indicated that India intends to challenge upcoming World Bank funding for Pakistan. This action is occurring against a backdrop of escalating tensions between the two nations.
