Article: “Iraq avoids the grey list” Iraq was on a black list at one time. Then they moved to the grey list, which we thought wow that’s pretty good, we’re moving forward. Now they’re saying Iraq has avoided the grey list. Quote: “In a remarkable development the Anti-money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Office in Iraq announced the country is far from being included in the grey list after the mutual international evaluation Iraq underwent for 14 month.” Sounds pretty intense.
