Our international banking system allows banks to accept funds gained from tax evasion and other crimes and thereby facilitates and encourages embezzlement by public officials, especially in developing countries, as well as tax evasion and tax avoidance by multinational corporations.

Thomas Pogge

The entire planet is drawn to Indian culture and soft power. The global community looks to us for solutions to international problems - whether terrorism, money laundering or climate change. In a globalised world, our responsibilities are also global.

Ram Nath Kovind

African countries lose the most from tax dodging. African governments must, therefore, do more to push for a full reform of the global tax system and demand action from countries, such as the U.K., whose financial centres sit at the heart of the global network of tax havens.

Winnie Byanyima

Money comes to Switzerland through three illegal sources: tax evasion in other developed countries, the blood money of dictators and other rulers in the Third World and organized crime.

Jean Ziegler

I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. The corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates Africa. But it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.

Lawrence Lessig

The two greatest priorities for my government are tackling tax evasion and corruption.

Mario Monti

We have never heard of laundering in Macau; money laundering is unheard of. Mind you, my casino, every bit of money - someone says Stanley Ho, you issue me a check of so much money - we don't give that easy.

Stanley Ho

While other countries may espouse the liberal utopian dream of a global community, it's usually only to get the richer countries to pay more money for the world's problems.

Richard Grenell

A global tax body would give all countries - not just the rich and powerful - an equal say in how the global rules on taxation are designed.

Winnie Byanyima

Corruption is not a problem just for some countries; this is a global issue.

Nguyen Tan Dung

We have made a full frontal attack on corruption. The question is whether we can address the question of governance in developing countries and, particularly, corruption.

James Wolfensohn

Developing countries are losing significant tax revenues through corporate tax dodging.

Winnie Byanyima

Global interdependence today means that economic disasters in developing countries could create a backlash on developed countries.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

It's bad form to mention money-laundering. Instead, you talk about asset-management structures and tax beneficial schemes.

John Sweeney

Developed countries and advanced developing countries must open their markets for products from the developing world, and support in developing their export and import capacity.

Anna Lindh
