This is a joint statement on the Fight against Illicit Financial Flows, by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretary-General Angel Gurría and Thabo Mbeki, Chair of the High Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa.

Both the OECD and the High Level Panel have focused attention on this problem and have identified ways in which to tackle it. In the wake of recent revelations in the media exposing the use of secrecy, shell companies, and offshore accounts for illegal activities, there is an urgent need for the international community to come together, as money-laundering, tax evasion and international bribery which form the bulk of IFFs, affect all countries.
