ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran on Tuesday reiterated his deep concern over the huge challenge of illicit flow of money, an annual amount of $1 trillion from developing countries to richer capitals and tax havens.
He was virtually addressing the World Leaders Summit Dialogue organized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) during its ongoing 15th Quadrennial Meeting, hosted by Barbados.
The premier also underscored the imperative of halting these outflows.
He also called for prioritizing vaccine equity, debt relief, climate finance, and return of stolen wealth to developing countries as part of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic’s fallout.
