Pakistan Tells FATF It Made Progress on All 27 Benchmarks

Posted 3 hours ago by Ahsan Gardezi

Pakistan has made progress on all 27 paradigms or benchmarks decreed as per the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Action Plan, reported Business Recorder.

​

A compliance report was sent to the governing body last month, proceedings for which are expected to be finalized by February’s end. FATF would review Pakistan’s progress on the Action Plan in its three-day plenary meeting being held on February 22, February 24 and February 25

The government is reportedly “sure that all the benchmarks set in FATF Action Plan have been achieved”. All divisions have exhausted all feasible options to make sure that all the 27 requirements are met. “Now it is up to them (FATF) how they see the progress we have made and what decisions they take,” stated the report by quoting a source in the government.

It is worth mentioning that last year, the FATF had highlighted terror financing, money laundering, and other illegal activities for Pakistan to address before the task force’s next plenary meeting in 2021.
The government has also taken strong action against organizations involved in extreme practices. Courts have sentenced lengthy jail terms to top leaders of certain groups and organizations with the help of strict regulations.

Regarding the monitoring of alleged financial blips in the past, the Federal Government has established a dedicated Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) under the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). Commitments made to FATF in this regard are being fulfilled, added the sources.

Meanwhile, the Federal Minister for Industries and Production, Hammad Azhar, is leading the government’s efforts to move Pakistan out of the Grey List. He is expected to represent Pakistan in the upcoming FATF plenary meeting this month.

In June 2018, FATF placed Pakistan on its list of “jurisdictions under increased monitoring” citing structural deficiencies, which, according to FATF, resulted in Pakistan’s failure to effectively combat terror financing and other malpractices.
In February 2020, they again expressed concerns over these issues and along with the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), issued a 27-point Action Plan for Pakistan to address these structural deficiencies.

Later in October 2020, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) commended Pakistan for achieving targets in 21 of the 27 items as requested. The task force later asked the country to achieve complete status on the Action Plan by February 2021.
Currently, the wider FATF membership acknowledges Pakistan’s commitment to addressing key issues and for remaining transparent in matters of national security.

Punjab Registers 2,500 Non-Profit Organizations to Meet FATF’s Regulations

Posted 3 seconds ago by Syeda Masooma

As a result of the Punjab government requiring all non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Punjab to register with the Punjab Charity Commission under the Punjab Charity Act 2018, approximately 2,500 NPOs have registered with the Punjab home department.

​

The move had come as an effort to meet Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements. It entails that NPOs can not collect charity until NPOs register with Punjab Charity Commission.

Around 5,300 NPOs had applied for registration with Punjab Charity Commission. The registration of the remaining 2,800 NPOs is under process, a national daily reported.
Before the enactment of the charity commission, nearly 30,000 NGOs were registered under the Societies Act, Trust SECP, and Social Welfare Department.

The FATF suspected that that unregistered NPOs could be exploited by terrorists and thereby recommended mandating their registration with the provincial government. Now, as per sources, the Punjab government is monitoring all NPOs working in the province.

The Charity Commission Act has come as part of the process to eradicate money-laundering, terror financing, and monitor NGOs.

Previously, if an NGO was registered with the Societies Registration Act, 1860, its registration could not be canceled under law, and the home department had no power to take any action against the NGO either.
However, now with the new act, the government can monitor the source of funding for the NGO, take account of its annual audit, and monitor members of boards of NPOs and NGOs (non-government organizations).

Now the government can also deregister non-functional NGOs, and the Punjab government has already done so for 22,000 non-functional NGOs out of a total of 30,000 registered in the province. As per news reports, around 8,000 NGOs are functional in Punjab.
The provincial government has also confiscated properties of these deregistered NGOs, including schools, colleges, hospitals, dispensaries, seminaries, and ambulances of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniyat (FIF), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), the newspaper reported.

Now, with the new regulations in place, the government is also monitoring shrines, mosques, and seminaries in the province effectively.

Hint: When Indians laugh at a post or comment on PDF, rest assured whatever the details entail it is positive for Pakistan.

Indians are just poor losers, part and parcel of their culture.

Looks to me, Pakistan has made every effort possible to action the 27 points - now if FATF remains sceptical - then that leads me to believe its purely political - as such, f.ck um.
