Amid the renewed border tensions with Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India is reportedly expected to approach the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF) with an urge to put Pakistan in its grey list again, Reuters reported.
Back in June 2018, Pakistan was put on the FATF 'grey list' owing to the alleged terror links. However, in October 2022, it was removed from the list in after the government committed to curb terror funding.
What Is FATF 'Grey List'?
The FATF 'grey list' includes jurisdictions under heightened surveillance due to suspicious or objectionable activities which have "committed to resolve swiftly the identified strategic deficiencies within agreed timeframes and is subject to increased monitoring".
As of now, as many as 25 countries are listed under FATF's jurisdictions under increased monitoring.
India To Oppose World Bank Funding For Pakistan
India will also oppose the upcoming World Bank funding for Pakistan. The move comes in the backdrop of the recently heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Earlier, India called on IMF to reconsider its $1-billion assistance to Pakistan, suggesting that Islamabad could use it for terror funding.
The bailout was approved at a time when India and Pakistan was engaged in cross-border firing, a day before the two South-Asian neighbours announced ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) justified that its executive board granted USD one billion in assistance to Pakistan earlier this month after they met all conditions and targets for it despite India's apprehensions that the funds could be used for cross-border terrorism.
The IMF carried out a review of its extended fund facility (EFF) granted to Pakistan in September last year and based on it, the board approved the amount on May 9, said Julie Kozack, a director at global body's communications department.
