WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Pandora Papers reveal a shadow financial system whereby the rich and powerful play by a different playbook

Washington DC – The UK should stop blocking attempts to implement a global minimum corporate tax that enables developing countries to raise much-needed funds for the Covid-19 response, according to the Financial Transparency Coalition (FTC).

The vast majority of Covid-19 recovery funds have gone to big corporations instead of toward welfare, small firms, or those working in the informal economy, according to the first major analysis of public bailout funds disbursed in developing countries during the pandemic.

The Executive Committee of the Financial Transparency Coalition (FTC) has appointed a new permanent Director. Matti Kohonen has succeeded Eryn Schornick, who helped steer the FTC to multiple policy successes over the past year as FTC interim director and who will remain as executive adviser to the Coalition.
