Panama: Combating Banking Secrecy through Financial Transparency
Event Sponsor
Overview
For a number of years, the international community has identified vulnerabilities in Panama’s financial system that has left it open to illegal activities. This has led Panama to make significant strides in several areas of financial transparency, including: money laundering and tax information. These efforts recently culminated in Panama being “de-listed” from the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) grey list. However, recent developments have once again put Panama’s financial system under scrutiny. Join us for a discussion about Panama’s efforts to strengthen its international compliance and improve financial transparency, with:
