The report on “Illicit Financial Flows: the lifeblood of crime and corruption” provides an overview of the vulnerabilities that permit illicit money to be generated and moved in South-Eastern Europe (specifically in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia). The report provides analysis on the sources of the problem, as well as on the steps taken in these five countries to address the problem. In addition to reporting approximate monetary values, the report also refers to the impact of IFFs on the economies and societies of the region where possible. Examples of such impacts include depriving the licit economy of resources that are needed for sustainable development; eroding the functioning of criminal justice systems; weakening state institutions; and discouraging the public and private sector from investing in essential infrastructure.
