一 | Islamabad, Oct 21 (UNI) The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday removed Pakistan from a list of countries under “increased monitoring”, also known as the “grey list”.

Addressing the press conference at the conclusion of the its plenary, President Raja Kumar noted that Pakistan had been on the grey list since 2018.

“It has two concurrent action plans. After a lot of work by Pakistan authorities, they have largely addressed all of the action plan items,” he said.

He stated that the task force had conducted an onsite visit at the end of August. The onsite team verified that there is a high-level of commitment from the Pakistani leadership, sustainability of reforms and commitment to make improvements in the future, he said.

“As a result of these action plans, Pakistan has made significant improvements to strengthen the effectiveness of this framework for combatting terrorism financing.”

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was quick to congratulate the country on the development moments before the FATF press conference began, according to Dawn reports.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan’s exiting the FATF grey list is a “vindication of our determined and sustained efforts over the years”, according to reports.

He congratulated the civil and military leadership as well as all institutions whose hard work led to today’s success. “Aap sab ko bohat bohat Mubarak,” the premier said, following up with a text smiley.

In a follow-up tweet, PM Shehbaz particularly commended the role and efforts of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and their teams and all political parties for putting up a united front to get Pakistan out of the grey list.

Pakistan was included among jurisdictions under increased monitoring list in June 2018 for deficiencies in its legal, financial, regulatory, investigations, prosecution, judicial and non-government sector to fight money laundering and combat terror financing considered serious threat to global financial system.

Islamabad made high-level political commitments to address these deficiencies under a 27-point action plan. But later the number of action points was enhanced to 34.

The country had since been vigorously working with FATF and its affiliates to strengthen its legal and financial systems against money laundering and terror financing to meet international standards in line with 40-recommendations of the FATF.

A 15-member joint delegation of the FATF and its Sydney-based regional affiliate — Asia Pacific Group — paid an onsite visit to Pakistan from Aug 29 to Sept 2 to verify the country’s compliance with the 34-point action plan committed with the FATF.

The authorities that had kept the countrywide visit of the delegation low profile later termed it “a smooth and successful visit”.

The delegation had detailed discussions with relevant agencies pursuant to the authorisation of onsite Visit by FATF Plenary in June 2022.

According to the Foreign Office, the focus of the visit was to validate on ground Pakistan’s high-level commitment and sustainability of reforms in AML/CFT regime and [it] looked forward to logical conclusion to the evaluation process.

Pakistan believed that as a result of strenuous and consistent efforts over the past four years, it has not only achieved a high degree of technical compliance with FATF standards but also ensured high level of effectiveness through implementation of two comprehensive FATF action plans.

In June this year, FATF had found Pakistan “compliant or largely compliant” on all the 34 points and had decided to field an onsite mission to verify it on ground before formally announcing the country’s exit from the grey list that finally took place in August and September.

In terms of technical compliance with FATF standards, Pakistan has been rated by APG as “compliant or largely compliant” in 38 out of 40 FATF recommendations in August this year, which placed the country among the top compliant countries in the world.

4月21日，足球报发文透露，有陕西高层直言，将会全力完成在中甲的保级任务。

中甲战罢4轮，陕西联合1胜1平2负积4分排在第11位，虽然说处于联赛中下游，但西北狼对于完成保级目标还是充满自信。俱乐部高层就直言：“从前4轮来看，队员们还是保持着高昂的斗志，大家都很团结，联赛才刚刚开始，我们只是打了一个主场，有渭南赛区、诸多赞助商的大力支持，还有这么好的球迷，我们一定会全力以赴完成保级任务！”

该媒体表示：陕西联合的自信是有根基的，除了球迷、赛区支持以及球队内部团结稳定外，还有就是俱乐部新赛季整体运营情况良好，阿克苏月亮泊景区成为2025赛季球队冠名合作伙伴，能获得冠名实属不易，这也反映出西北狼的号召力和俱乐部营销策略的成功。不仅仅是冠名，在市场环境不佳的大背景下，俱乐部还主动作为，合作方涵盖各行各业，真正做到了众人拾柴火焰高，联合一切可以联合的力量，都来助力陕西职业足球奋勇前行。

在主场球票发售上，市场反响很好，陕西联合新赛季主场即便仍然放到渭南，但每到周末，省内各地开车、乘坐高铁到渭南看球的球迷仍然是络绎不绝，甚至还出现一票难求的盛况。球迷热情解囊，一定程度上也缓解了俱乐部的经营压力。
