Podcasts about financial secrecy index

The Taxcast looks at the battle for freedom of the press in Switzerland and the implications for the rest of the world. Investigative journalists like Bastian Obermayer risks arrest, fines and imprisonment if he sets foot in Switzerland again, and Swiss journalists are having to turn away strong public interest stories - for fear of not just rich and powerful people coming after them, but also the Swiss state. Switzerland's always been famous for its banking secrecy laws and it's never been the friendliest place for investigative journalists. Now the situation threatens to get even worse. Featuring: Bastian Obermayer, one of the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalists who broke the Panama Papers story and many other groundbreaking scandals. Swiss investigative journalist, Oliver Zihlmann, co-head of the Investigative Unit at Tamedia, the leading publishing and broadcast media company in Switzerland. Policy and advocacy manager at Reporters Without Borders Switzerland, Valentin Rubin Hosted by Naomi Fowler and co-produced with Leo Schick.

How is it that the world's most powerful country has become the best place to hide money?Last year, the latest edition of the Financial Secrecy Index, a ranking by the Tax Justice Network of the world's best countries for hiding money, was released. The United States was in first place, thus being called the world's largest tax haven for the first time. But why is that, really? The country is neither a small island state like the Cayman Islands nor a giant bank vault like Switzerland.In this interview from another episode of Pengeland, we are visited by Lukas Hakelberg, who is a postdoctoral researcher at the Free University of Berlin. He has written the book 'The Hypocritical Hegemon', which explains just this.The United States is the world's most powerful country, has the world's largest financial market, and has the greatest influence in international processes, such as in the OECD. At the same time, the US Congress is dominated by a super strong financial lobby, which means that even ambitious presidential administrations do not get their policies passed. Lukas explains how this has led to the United States emerging as the best place in the world to hide money, while through the OECD, it has put obstacles in the way for countries that want to follow suit. Thus, the world's most powerful country is now the world's largest tax haven.'The Hypocritical Hegemon' is available in Open Access here: https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501748035/the-hypocritical-hegemon/#bookTabs=1Hosts: Jonas Veland and Ingrid HjertakerSound, video, and music: Kristoffer Lislegaard

Hvordan kan det ha seg at verdens mektigste land har blitt det beste stedet å skjule penger?Videoversjon av episoden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w3LDSdfJt4I fjor kom den nyeste utgaven av Financial Secrecy Index, Tax Justice Network sin rangering av verdens beste land å skjule penger i. Der var USA på førsteplass, og kunne dermed for første gang kalles verdens største skatteparadis. Men hvorfor det, egentlig? Landet er jo verken en liten øystat som Cayman eller et gigantisk bankhvelv som Sveits. I denne episoden av Pengeland får vi besøk av Lukas Hakelberg, som er postdoktor ved Freie Universität i Berlin. Han har skrevet boka The Hypocritical Hegemon, som forklarer nettopp dette. USA er verdens mektigste land, har verdens største finansmarked og har størst innflytelse i internasjonale prosesser, for eksempel i OECD. Samtidig preges kongressen i USA av en supersterk finanslobby, som gjør at selv ambisiøse presidentadministrasjoner ikke får politikken sin vedtatt. Lukas forklarer hvordan dette har medført at USA har seilet opp som verdens beste sted å skjule penger i, samtidig som det gjennom OECD har stukket kjepper i hjulene for land som har lyst til å følge etter. Dermed er verdens mektigste land nå verdens største skatteparadis.The Hypocritical Hegemon er tilgjengelig i Open Access her: https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501748035/the-hypocritical-hegemon/#bookTabs=1Vi kan også anbefale denne artikkelen, som forklarer forholdet mellom USA og Sveits som skatteparadis: https://taxjustice.no/artikkel/hvem-passer-pa-verdenspolitietProgramledere: Jonas Veland og Ingrid HjertakerLyd, video og musikk: Kristoffer Lislegaard

The Tax Justice Network has released its Financial Secrecy Index 2022. The Index “identifies the world's biggest suppliers of financial secrecy” with the US being number 1. John and Elliot discuss the findings in this year's Index, the overall progress noted by the TJN, and the need for continued progress in reducing the availability of tax and secrecy havens around the world.

Which nations are the world's biggest financial secrecy offenders? And what does it tell us about the world, about politics and about democracy? How high does your country rank in facilitating global corruption? In this episode Taxcast host Naomi Fowler explores the shocking results of the Tax Justice Network's Financial Secrecy Index 2022.  Guests: Alex Cobham, head of the Tax Justice Network Ryan Gurule, of the FACT Coalition Read all about the Financial Secrecy Index here: https://fsi.taxjustice.net/  Our website with more podcasts is here: https://www.thetaxcast.com/

Hvilke land er de mest hemmelige i verden?Dette er spørsmålet som forskerteamet bak Financial Secrecy Index (FSI) prøver å svare på. Financial Secrecy Index er verdens mest omfattende måling av finansielt hemmelighold og omfatter 131 land. FSI 2020 ble lansert av Tax Justice Network tirsdag 18. februar, og vi har i den anledning dedikert en hel episode til å gjøre et dypdykk i FSI. Hvordan lages indeksen? Hvilken vei går utviklingen i verden - og kanskje viktigst for mange - er Norge bedre enn Sverige og Danmark?I denne episoden av TaxCast snakker vi med Moran Harari som jobber fra Israel for Tax Justice Networks forskningsteam, og Ingrid Hjertaker og Sigrid Klæboe Jacobsen fra Tax Justice Network -Norge.Programleder for TaxCast er Peter Ringstad.Musikk av Helge Moen.

Todo mundo já ouviu falar e provavelmente sabe citar um ou dois exemplos, mas o que isso significa exatamente, em termos práticos? Que tipo de pessoa e empresa usa esses serviços? Quais as consequências disso pra nós, pobres mortais tupiniquins? E o que diabos o COAF tem a ver com isso? Conversamos novamente com Charles Alcântara, presidente da Federação Nacional do Fisco Estadual e Distrital (Fenafisco).

O ser que na sociedade é chutado como uma barata - cresce de importância para o meu olho. Ainda não entendi porque herdei esse olhar para baixo. Sempre imagino que venha de ancestralidades machucadas. Fui criado no mato e aprendi a gostar das coisinhas do chão- antes que das coisas celestiais. Pessoas pertencidas de abandono me comovem: tanto quanto as soberbas coisas ínfimas.   Leticia Dáquer Livro: Vulgo Grace (Margaret Atwood) Série: Queer Eye (Netflix)   Thiago Corrêa Documentário: Welcome to Leith (2015)   Jabás Charles Alcântara Twitter pessoal: @charlesalcant_   Twitter Fenafisco: @FenaFisco Fenafisco no Facebook   Fenafisco no Instagram   Leticia Dáquer Twitter: @pacamanca Blog: www.pacamanca.com Papo Cético, podcast do site Mitografias    Thiago Corrêa Twitter: @thiago_czz Parceria com Veste Esquerda: use o código de desconto PISTOLA10 pra ter 10% de desconto na sua compra de camisetas maneiríssimas esquerdopatas #MULHERESPODCASTERS Mulheres Podcasters é uma ação de iniciativa do Programa Ponto G, desenvolvida para divulgar o trabalho de mulheres na mídia podcast e mostrar para todo ouvinte que sempre existiram mulheres na comunidade de podcasts Brasil.   O Pistolando apoia essa iniciativa.    Apoie você também: compartilhe este programa com a hashtag #mulherespodcasters e nos ajude a promover a igualdade de gênero dentro da podosfera.   Responda à PodPesquisa 2019!   Links do Pistolando   www.pistolando.com   contato@pistolando.com   Twitter: @PistolandoPod   Instagram: @PistolandoPod   A capa do episódio é um quadrado branco.

In the November 2015 Taxcast: Why is the City of London losing so much business to New York, Hong Kong and Singapore? Our conclusions are quite different from those of a British Bankers Association report on the subject. Plus: the crazy UK-China nuclear power station deal: a sweetener for closer ties between the two nation's financial sectors? One year after #LuxLeaks exposed some of the secret tax deals being done between government tax authorities and multinational corporations we ask how many more 'illegal state aid' deals might have been made? Plus we have a special focus on the results of the latest Financial Secrecy Index 2015 released this month: we look at the top ten worst offenders and ask what can be done about them.
