Illicit financial flows and the impact on developing countries

At the conference on “Illicit financial flows and the impact on developing countries: measurement challenges and policy implications“, organised by Transcrime and ASERI – Graduate School of Economics and International Relations on Wednesday 23rd of March, we had the opportunity to discuss the topic of IFF with distinguished professor Peter Reuter from the University of Maryland.

In particular, professor Reuter and the speakers of the roundtable focused their attention on how to conceptualise and measure Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) and how to assess their impact on developing countries.

The roundtable was then joined by Alberto Aziani, Assistant Professor at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Simona Beretta, Full Professor of International Economics at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, and Mario A. Maggioni, Professor of Economics at the Faculty of Political Science of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, and chaired by Michele Riccardi, Deputy Director at Transcrime, during the roundtable.
