About the ReportPoor countries are being deprived of more than a trillion dollars every year. It’s the biggest heist you’ve never heard of.

Shady deals and secret shell companies are used to deprive developing countries of money that could help them finance their own fight against extreme poverty, disease and hunger. Extreme poverty has been halved in 20 years, and could be virtually wiped out by 2030. But that won’t happen if we don’t end the Trillion Dollar Scandal.

ONE is calling on the G20 to act to end this toxic secrecy, and bring in new laws to open up information so that citizens and journalists can follow the money and hold businesses and governments to account.

Key MessagesONE’s new report demonstrates the scale and impact of secrecy and corruption on developing countries. Our new research shows:

Each year, more than a trillion dollars is siphoned out of developing countries through a corrupt web of activity that includes shady deals for natural resources, the use of phantom firms, money laundering, and illegal tax evasion.

This trillion dollar scandal robs governments of valuable resources that could be used to fund the fight against extreme poverty, disease and hunger.

Wherever corruption is allowed to thrive, it inhibits private investment, reduces economic productivity, increases the cost of doing business, and can lead to political instability.

But in developing countries, corruption is also a killer. When governments are robbed of their own resources to invest in health care, food security, or essential infrastructure, it costs lives - and the biggest toll is on children.

ONE estimates that the lives of more than 3.6 million people could be saved if governments act to end the corporate and political secrecy that allows corruption and criminality to thrive and the recovered revenues invested in health systems.

$1 trillion would be enough to buy 8,928 F-35 fighter jets, the most costly plane ever built.

Lined up end-to-end, a trillion one dollar bills would be 96,906,565 miles long, more than enough to reach the sun.

Given current global daily newspaper circulation (534 million printed per day), it would take more than 5 years to print 1 trillion papers.

$1 trillion is greater than the profits of the largest 86 public companies in the world, combined. 

$1 trillion is equivalent to the combined national incomes ofAustria, Denmark, and Finland.

Counting to one trillion would take roughly 31,709 years (counting one number per second). $1 trillion could

buy everyone on the planet a Starbucks latte every day for a month.

A stack of one trillion one dollar bills would stand 67,866 miles high, or reach roughly a third of the way to the moon.

he ONE Campaign has just launched a campaign exposing the biggest heist you’ve never heard of. ONE’s analysis shows that more than a trillion dollars is syphoned from poor countries every year by criminals, corrupt officials and dodgy secretive firms. This is not aid money – which is making a tangible difference – but money laundering, corrupt deals for natural resources, drug traf-ficking and much more. If poor countries were able to crack down on this scandal, tax it at normal rates, and spend it on basic health systems, it could raise enough money to save an average of 3.6 million lives a year.

If it’s so obvious, why don’t poor countries make the changes and get cracking on saving lives? The answer is they can’t. The solution

lies not in Addis or Accra, but in decisions made in Washington, Whitehall and Wall Street. For the uncomfortable truth is that policies put in place by rich countries play an enabling role in the scandal. All

Sample blog post

The Trillion Dollar ScandalBy David McNair

Poor countries are poor and the money rich countries spend helping them is bigger than money coming the other way, right? Wrong.

too often the dodgy money is funnelled through secret firms in rich countries and ends up in sunny Caribbean islands or alpine havens- all linked to G20 countries The World Bank analysed the biggest cor-ruption scandals of the last two decades and found that 70% involved secret companies based in places like the British Virgin Islands, the US state of Delaware.

When money is paid to poor country governments, for oil or gas for example, the people living there don’t know how much is being paid or where the money goes. Not only is the money that should be used for lifesaving services channelled elsewhere – the effect is like rust eating away at the structures of society – undermining trust in government, scaring off foreign investment, stifling job creation. At every stage the poor pay the highest price.

It was Louis Brandeis, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court who said ‘sunlight is the best disinfectant’. ONE has a four point plan that will help end the trillion dollar scandal. The information will put power into the hands of people allowing them to follow the money.

1. End secret companies so criminals can no longer hide their identities.

2. Force oil, gas and mining firms to ‘Publish what you pay’ to governments

3. Crack down on tax evaders – by giving tax collectors information on secret bank ac-counts held offshore

4. Open up government data – so people can follow the money from resources to results.

G20 leaders meet in November – and have the power to make decisions that will change all of this. ONE is calling on them to make these changes now.
