The International Monetary Fund's Public Financial Management Blog recorded this yesterday:
During 2022, we published 78 articles, of which 56 percent were authored by non-IMF staff or experts, (as opposed to 50% last year). This confirms the trend we had witnessed in 2021, showing an increasing participation by other international organizations, think tanks and research institutes, finance ministries, independent consultants, and other non-IMF sources.
At number four in their list of top blogs for the year was this:
4. Developing and Using Global Tax Transparency Principles by Andrew Baker, Richard Murphy, Raquel Ferreira, Juan Pablo Guerrero
I'm pleased with that. Not only is the message about the need for tax transparency in government decision-making processes getting out there, but the message is also being read in the right places as well. Thanks to my colleagues on this, of course.
Thanks for reading this post.

You should be. Getting heard in the “right places” is what distinguishes a serious commentator from “an old man in a vest shouting at the TV” (which is how my son characterizes me…. when he wants to wind me up!).

This needs to be read more widely, too. May not have the same figures as you, but people should know what HMRC are not doing when they are being chased up for pennies this month.

This must be satisfying to you and rightly so.
