Using trade misinvoicing and balance-of-payments discrepancies to estimate illicit financial flows, the paper finds higher real Gross Domestic Product is associated with higher illicit financial flows due to the increased opportunities to channel illicit resources abroad generated by higher economic activity, suggesting a need for increased diligence as economies grow.  aTrade Misinvoicing, Tax  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/Illicit-financial-flows-in-Africa_2020.pdf  cBK  c1098d1098
