Washington,<\/p>\n
The World Bank has denied as \u201cincorrect\u201d the media reports in Pakistan that cited its report to allege that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif laundered US$ 4.9 billion to India. Pakistan\u2019s top anti-corruption body, National Accountability Bureau, on Tuesday ordered a probe against the embattled former prime minister and others after reports of his involvement in the money laundering emerged in the media. The World Bank in a statement said, \u201cIn the past day, there have been media reports citing the World Bank\u2019s Remittances and Migration Report of 2016. These media reports were incorrect. The World Bank\u2019s Remittances and Migration Report is an effort by the World Bank to estimate migration and remittances numbers across the world, it said. \u201cThe report does not include any mention of money laundering nor does it name any individuals,\u201d said the World Bank, which was issued after media reports cited its annual report for allegations that Sharif laundered US$ 4.9 billion from Pakistan to India. In its annual report, the statement said that the World Bank estimates bilateral remittances between countries using the methodology summarised in the World Bank Working Paper 102 South-South migration and remittances by the authors of the report.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Washington, The World Bank has denied as \u201cincorrect\u201d the media reports in Pakistan that cited its report to allege that former prime minister […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30668"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30671,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668\/revisions\/30671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
