And the Grenadian Voice reported on the 7. september that the black list has been suspended abd that the decision was taken after board members of the International Monetary Fund accused the task force of punishing poor states while allowing the rich nations off the hook.

Finance Minister Hon Anthony Boatswain of Grenada has welcomed the decision by the FATF to suspend the publication of the list. He says that the suspension may work in Grenada’s favor, since ultimately the country would have qualified for removal. Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines were among 35 jurisdictions identified by the OECD in June 2000 as meeting the technical criteria for being a tax haven.
