Rouhani: Compliance With FATF Norms Essential for Int’l Banking Ties

President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday if the Expediency Council fails to ratify the remaining two anti-money laundering bills, Iran’s banking relations with the outside world would be imperiled. 
Underscoring the need for normalcy in banking relations with other nations, Rouhani said maintaining such ties is not possible if the two pending bills are not approved and signed into law. 
“We don’t want to be deprived of bigger benefits at the expense of trivial issues,” Rouhani said during the weekly Cabinet meeting, IRNA reported.
