He said the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), global body that ranks countries, has come to this conclusion after Bangladesh’s report was found satisfactory during its conference in California from September 6-8. It assists its members to establish national coordination mechanisms to better utilise resources to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. APG conducted its first evaluation on Bangladesh and was accepted by its plenary in 2003 and second one in 2008. Bangladesh was included in “Gray list” of risky countries. Bangladesh was excluded from risky nations list in 2014.
