The Financial Secrecy Index 2022 ( https://fsi.taxjustice.net/es/ ), prepared by Tax Justice Network, reveals that the United States and Switzerland are at the top of the list of countries favorable to financial opacity. The London-based International Network for Tax Justice reveals in its work, countries that can hide and launder money.

" There is a double standard. Many developed countries host or support jurisdictions where secrecy and lack of transparency are great ," AlexCobham, executive director of the Tax Justice Network, was quoted as saying by BBC Mundo. In an interview with the New York Times, the lawyer assures that there is more dirty money in New York, Miami and London than in Panama. Panama, however, ranked 18th, far from the top 10, where there are several developed countries, which, ironically, have been major opponents of tax havens. The U.S. tops the list after recording an increase in financial secrecy of nearly a third (31 percent) since 2020, the highest percentage of financial secrecy ever measured.
