Illicit financial flows (IFFs), whether linked to corruption, money laundering or tax evasion, are a key obstacle to international development efforts. The UN has set the goal to significantly reduce IFFs by 2030. Yet, measuring IFFs is challenging, both for definitional and practical reasons. This session will showcase global and national efforts to measure various types of IFFs, and promote experience-sharing on this rapidly evolving area of statistics.
