Measuring illicit financial flows is a challenging area of statistics and needs a robust yet practical measurement framework. In this café, we will hear from experts involved in developing an approach that has been successfully piloted in Latin America and is now being piloted in Asia and the Pacific. The café is an inception event for a two-year, $900,000 project to pilot the measurement of illicit financial flows in relation to selected illegal markets and activities. Project owners will share details of the project and invite you to submit an expression of interest to be part of the project.
