尽管面临包括2019冠状病毒疾病大流行在内的诸多挑战,巴基斯坦仍在为成功完成这些行动计划而不懈努力。在FATF行动计划的实施过程中,巴基斯坦在反洗钱/反恐融资领域覆盖了很多领域。
FATF对巴基斯坦有偏见
FATF主席马库斯·普莱耶(MarcusPleyer)在新闻发布会上表示:“巴基斯坦今天没有从灰色名单中删除。如果该国成功通过现场访问,它将从名单中删除。”。他说,现场访问的目的是验证改革是否完成,以检查改革是否可持续和不可逆转。普莱耶没有给出访问的日期,但表示将在该机构10月全体会议之前,届时可以就是否将巴基斯坦除名作出“知情决定”。他说,FATF赞扬巴基斯坦执行了该组织的行动计划,这清楚地表明,巴基斯坦正在接近摆脱“灰色名单”。
金融行动特别工作组(FATF)于2022年6月13日至17日在柏林举行的全体会议上审查了巴基斯坦在FATF行动计划方面的进展情况。FATF已确认巴基斯坦行动计划(2018和2021)已完成,并授权对巴基斯坦进行现场访问,作为退出FATF灰色名单的最后一步。FATF成员在参加关于巴基斯坦进展情况的讨论时,祝贺巴基斯坦完成了涵盖34个项目的两项行动计划,尤其是2021行动计划在创纪录的时间内提前完成。
巴基斯坦是如何实现这些措施的?
尽管面临包括2019冠状病毒疾病大流行在内的诸多挑战,巴基斯坦仍在为成功完成这些行动计划而不懈努力。在FATF行动计划的实施过程中,巴基斯坦在反洗钱/反恐融资领域覆盖了很多领域。通过与FATF的合作,巴基斯坦建立了强大的反洗钱/反恐融资框架,并改进了我们的系统,以应对未来的挑战。
有些人认为,这是美国负责南亚和中亚事务的助理国务卿唐纳德·吕的成果,应该归功于他。我们认为,这是巴基斯坦努力推行新政策和严格执行FATF行动计划的结果。包括巴基斯坦军队在内的有关部委和机构都非常努力。
ISPR少将巴巴尔·伊夫蒂哈尔(Babar Iftikhar)在推特上表示,巴基斯坦完成了FATF的反洗钱(AML)和反恐融资(CFT)行动计划,这是一项伟大的成就,也是一项巨大的努力,为列入白名单铺平了道路。
他引用陆军参谋长卡马尔·贾维德·巴杰瓦将军的话说:“GHQ(总部)的核心小组领导了国家努力和军民团队,该团队协同行动计划的实施,使巴基斯坦感到自豪。”巴基斯坦的外交斗争已经说服土耳其、中国和马来西亚投下至关重要的一票,将其从名单中除名。
正是集体努力的结果,巴基斯坦才得以满足FATF的要求
虽然“灰名单”意味着没有制裁,但是,会损害一个国家的声誉和信誉。它可能损害其与其他国际金融机构的关系,对债权人产生不利影响,并损害出口、产出和消费。这也会让全球银行对与一个国家做生意持谨慎态度。总部位于巴基斯坦的独立智库塔巴德实验室(Tabadlab)估计,自2018年被列入灰色名单以来,该国经济已损失380亿美元。
政治和军事领导层正在庆祝,这是巴基斯坦的胜利,然而,需要继续奋斗更长的时间。这符合国家的最大利益,也符合FATF的要求,因此,行动计划应继续以真实和精神实施。
预计一旦巴基斯坦最终从灰色名单中除名,其形象将得到极大改善。债权人和投资者将向巴基斯坦注资。贸易,尤其是出口可能会增加。巴基斯坦可能很快克服经济危机。
另一方面,印度参与恐怖融资,巴基斯坦通过一份档案向联合国和相关方面提供了证据。事实证明,印度在斯里兰卡的一次恐怖袭击中资不抵债,恐怖主义资金是显而易见的。铀走私和黑市交易也是一个令人深感关切的问题。金融行动特别工作组被要求调查印度并加以解决。
许多其他国家也参与了洗钱、恐怖融资等活动,也需要在相同的尺度上进行相应的处理,不管它们有多大,或有多强!

How has Pakistan successfully implemented FATF’s Action Plans?
Pakistan continued its relentless efforts toward the successful completion of these Action Plans despite many challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic. Pakistan has covered a lot of ground in the AML/CFT domain during the implementation of FATF Action Plans.
FATF biased against Pakistan
“Pakistan is not being removed from the grey list today. The country will be removed from the list if it successfully passes the onsite visit,” FATF president Marcus Pleyer told a news conference. The purpose of the onsite visit, he said, is to verify the completion of reforms to check whether it is sustainable and irreversible. Pleyer did not give a date for the visit but said it would be before the body’s October plenary, where an “informed decision” can be made on whether to delist Pakistan. He said FATF is praising Pakistan for implementing the organization’s action plans – a clear indication that Pakistan is moving closer to getting off the “gray list”.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) reviewed Pakistan’s progress on FATF Action Plans in its plenary meetings held in Berlin on 13-17 June 2022. FATF has acknowledged the completion of Pakistan’s Action Plans (2018 and 2021) and has authorized an onsite visit to Pakistan, as a final step to exit from the FATF’s grey list. The FATF members while participating in the discussion on Pakistan’s progress, congratulated Pakistan for completing both Action Plans covering 34 items, and especially on the early completion of the 2021 Action Plan in a record timeframe.
How did Pakistan achieve these measures?
Pakistan continued its relentless efforts toward the successful completion of these Action Plans despite many challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic. Pakistan has covered a lot of ground in the AML/CFT domain during the implementation of FATF Action Plans. The engagement with FATF has led to the development of a strong AML/CFT framework in Pakistan and resulted in the improvement of our systems to cope with future challenges.
Certain people in believe that it is the outcome of U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu, and credit should go to him. Whereas, we believe that it was the result of the hard work of Pakistan to introduce new policies and strict implementations of FATF’s action plans. Relevant ministries, departments, and institutions worked very hard, including Pakistan Army.
DG ISPR Major General Babar Iftikhar, in a Twitter post, said the completion of FATF’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terror Financing (CFT) action plans by Pakistan is a great achievement and a monumental effort paving way for whitelisting.
“Core cell at GHQ [General Headquarters] which steered the national effort & civil-military team which synergized implementation of action plan made it possible, making Pak proud,” he quoted Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa as saying. Pakistan’s diplomatic struggle has convinced the vital vote from Turkey, China, and Malaysia to get off the list.
It was the result of collective efforts that Pakistan was able to satisfy FATF
Although “grey-List” means no sanctions, but, causes damage to the reputation and credibility of a country. It can harm its relations with other International Financial Institutions, adversely impacting creditors, and hurting exports, output, and consumption. It also can make global banks wary of doing business with a country. A Pakistani-based independent think-tank, Tabadlab, has estimated it has cost the country’s economy $38bn since it was put on the gray list in 2018.
Whereas, political and military leadership is celebrating it as a victory for Pakistan, yet, need to keep struggling for a longer time. It is in the best interest of the nation as well as the requirement of the FATF, so the action plans should be kept on implementing in true later and spirit.
It is expected once Pakistan is finally removed from the Grey list, its image will improve tremendously. Creditors and investors will pour money into Pakistan. Trade, especially exports may boost up. Pakistan may overcome its economic crisis soon.
On the other hand, India has been involved in terror financing, evidence was provided to the UN and relevant quarters through a dossier by Pakistan. Indian insolvency in a terrorist attack in Sri Lanka was proved and terror finances were obvious. The smuggling of Uranium and trading in the black market is also a matter of deep concern. FATF is requested to probe India and fix it.
Many other countries are also involved in money laundering, terror financing, etc., and are also required to be dealt with accordingly on the same yardstick, irrespective of how big, or strong they are!
