London summit will improve global tax transparency
Keyword(s):
Subject Anti-corruption summit outcome. Significance New transparency initiatives at the anti-corruption summit promise to inhibit illicit financial flows. The summit has given political momentum to the traditionally bureaucratic and slow process of implementing anti-corruption conventions, together with creating new instruments. Impacts Transparency over beneficial ownership will make it harder for individuals to avoid tax and will increase scrutiny over financial flows. Nevertheless, corrupt elites and criminal gangs will still have numerous routes through which to channel their money. High-level political commitment to fight corruption will provide a benchmark against which political leaders can be held to account.
