Illicit trade carried out by transnational criminal actors poses a significant threat with growing global risks in OECD countries and beyond. The objective of the workshop is for leading experts from the public and private sectors to examine the full scale and impact of these global risks and share good practices and policy responses to mitigate them.
Networks of illicit activities have detrimental impacts on economies in terms of foreign investment, job growth, tax revenues and market distortions. Transnational criminal networks weaken institutions, erode public trust in government, and undermine core democratic values such as the rule of law.
