America will partner with SA to address key greylisting issues, says US Treasury official

Deputy Secretary at the United States Treasury, Wally Adeyemo, has said that country is committed to collaborating with South Africa to combat terror financing and illicit financial flows, key barriers to attracting foreign investment given South Africa’s greylist status.

Adeyemo, who serves under Janet Yellen, briefly addressed the media in Pretoria on Wednesday during his week-long visit to the country.

He said the partnership between the US and SA should be based on a shared commitment to grow both countries' economies.
