Duterte Yet to Approve Changes in Anti-Dirty Money Council

(Bloomberg) -- Fears that Financial Action Task Force might blacklist Philippines over changes in chairmanship of Anti-Money Laundering Council don’t have basis, according to statement from President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesman.
  • “The President hasn’t given his imprimatur on the Anti- Money Laundering Council changes. He simply complained of some AMLC members serving other masters,” statement says
  • Bill that seeks such changes has to undergo deliberation in Congress and govt expects risk of blacklist will be considered during discussion
