December's Illicit Finance Summit will focus on strengthening global enforcement against illicit finance, including by forging new partnerships on information sharing and asset recovery.

It will also agree new partnerships to tackle high-risk methods of moving dirty money, namely laundering in the property sector, misuse of crypto-assets, and trading in illicit gold.

By driving greater transparency, stronger enforcement and higher global standards, we will, alongside international partners, make it harder to hide or misuse money, including through tax evasion.
