Conference on Uncovering Hidden Wealth - Ways to Stop Offshore Secrecy
The conference will take place on 10th May 2022 from 4 pm - 6 pm at the University of Copenhagen, Øster Farimagsgade 5, Building 35, Room 35.01.06.
The event will bring forth pertinent issues of offshore secrecy, financial transparency and wealth ownership.
Revelations of hidden wealth through the use of tax havens and their enablers (as evidenced by leaks, academic research and recent sanctions) have increased public awareness and call for urgent policy solutions.
The event seeks to provide a space to discuss the latest developments in offshore secrecy, complemented with the most recent research, and to become a catalyst for the generation of innovative proposals.

• Rasmus Corlin Christensen - Copenhagen Business School
