Japan pushes to remove Myanmar from financial watchdog blacklist
Original: EXCLUSIVE: Japan pushes to remove Myanmar from global financial watchdog's blacklist
Japan is lobbying to have Myanmar removed from the blacklist of the global financial watchdog, according to a Reuters exclusive. The move would ease restrictions tied to Myanmar's designation as a jurisdiction under increased monitoring for money laundering and terror financing risks. The reported lobbying effort is likely to draw scrutiny given Myanmar's military government and ongoing civil conflict since the 2021 coup.
Why now: A Reuters exclusive on Japan's diplomatic lobbying over Myanmar's financial status is fresh, consequential news.
