Global Financial Integrity has released the following video along with a letter from GFI Director Raymond Baker. The video encourages individuals to combat one of the oft-neglected causes of poverty, illicit financial flows, by urging the G20 to create financial transparency. It’s one of the best videos of its type I’ve ever seen. <\/p>\n

The letter says:<\/p>\n

Dear Supporter,<\/em><\/p>\n

For over half a century \u2014 western aid organizations have admirably worked to alleviate poverty in developing countries. Despite these efforts, over 3 billion people-or half the world-live on less than $2.50 per day. Indeed, more people live in poverty today than at any other time in human history.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s because for every 1 dollar in foreign aid sent to developing economies, 10 dollars is flowing out illicitly. In fact illicit financial flows from developing economies total $1 trillion every year-10 times the amount of foreign aid received.<\/em><\/p>\n

But there is hope! We can curtail the devastating effects of dirty money by urging the G20 to create financial transparency in the international banking system.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, Global Financial Integrity released a video urging people to do just that. The video, titled “Who Suffers?” explains this problem and urges people to take action by signing the petition to the G20 at www.G20Transparency.com<\/a>. Please join us in our fight by forwarding this video to your friends and family.<\/em><\/p>\n

Best Wishes,<\/em><\/p>\n
