The governor expressed these views during his address to Financial Crime Summit and expressed satisfaction that the state’s foreign exchange reserves have been increasing.
He outlined that the country has followed the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and the international organisations have appreciated Pakistan’s efforts in this regard.
The governor pointed out that reforms in the financial system were currently underway, and stopping terror financing was one of the top priorities.
