Lula calls for an end to dollar trade dominance “Who was it that decided that the dollar was the currency after the disappearance of the gold standard?” @OkandaJoab @JasonBraganza1 @chenaimukumba @crystalsimeoni @TitusGwemende @nangabe @jayznotes ft.com/content/669260…

"Not everything that counts can be counted; & not everything that can be counted counts." Mark Twain This should challenge us each time we talk about development financing - illicit financial flows, tax, debt, trade, investment & Aid @AFRODAD2011 @DeproseM @crystalsimeoni

Debt servicing consumes 35% of our domestic revenue, which has an impact on other services like health, education, and agriculture, among others, that require more attention @StopIFF @CTPDZambia @WorldBankAfrica @ACEPGhana @AFRODAD2011 @SeatiniU @mofpedU @IMFNews

"Debt accumulation has been increasing for a couple of years in Ghana, In 2022, the debt increased to about 104% to GDP ratio and this debt crisis is affecting the economy"- Mr. Taiden from Ghana @StopIFF @AFRODAD2011 @CTPDZambia @WorldBankAfrica @IMFNews @ACEPGhana @mofpedU

Mr Taiden : Domestic debt is about 60% and 30% of the external debt and this is affecting our domestic resource mobilisation in Ghana @StopIFF @AFRODAD2011 @SeatiniU @CTPDZambia @ACEPGhana @WorldBankAfrica @IMFNews @herbertk4 @mofpedU

All systems go for the 2023 IMF and WB Spring Meetings in Washington D.C. good warm up session this morning with the IMF Africa EDs and lunch with friends from @DevReimagined, @CGDev, and FDL. We're all about #AfricaRuleMaker this Spring Meetings.

On this day, six years ago,we successfully launched the Stop The Bleeding campaign - @StopIFF - in #Burundi. The event was endorsed by the then Ministry of Interior and Patriotic Training, with support of @TaxJusticeAfric and @ICEDBurundi . 7 years after this memorable event, it is worthy recalling the @BurundiGov to implement the campaign's recommendations including Domestic Resource Mobilisation (#DRM) and the fight against illicit financial flows for sustainable development. Today, I am glad that several stakeholders have endorsed the campaign and have been engaging themeselves in several impactful actions and activities including advocacy and parliamentary debates on #taxdodging. Thus, 40 MPs and some CSOs leaders have, so far, joined the African Parliamentary Network on Illicit Financial Flows ( #APNIFFT ) to associate their voices in tackling Illicit financial flows and tax injustice in #Africa.

As the #summitfordemocracy starts the US needs to stop being a black hole for illicit financial flows from the Global South. We need a strong beneficial ownership registry, and end the impunity of enablers. @SecYellen @StopIFF @FACTCoalition Glad to sign: bit.ly/40KQJP3
