The dirt on money laundering
Jun 21st 2001
>From The Economist Global Agenda
An international task force is preparing to add more countries to its list of money-
laundering black spots. Its tough approach is beginning to have some effect
NAMED and shamed, very probably; but what will they do about it? Six countries are
likely to find themselves added to the money-laundering blacklist compiled by the
Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is meeting this week in Paris. Egypt,
Guatemala, Hungary, Indonesia, Myanmar and Nigeria are likely to join the list,
while the Bahamas, Liechtenstein, the Cayman Islands and Panama may find themselves
released from it for good behaviour. This marks something of a triumph for the FATF,
which is trying to tackle a problem of vast proportions. Some $500 billion-1.5
trillion a year (equivalent to 1.5-4.5% of gross world product) generated by illegal
activities is washed through the banking system, according to estimates by the
International Monetary Fund.
