Money Laundering in Iran: A Capital Flight Approach
About this episode
This episode covers a research paper which assesses money laundering in Iran's economy from 1995 to 2022. Employing a novel combined method based on the capital flight approach, the study estimates a total of $553 billion laundered, averaging $20 billion annually. The highest amount occurred in 2011 ($55 billion), while the lowest was in 2001 ($4.8 billion). The findings highlight the significant role of trade misinvoicing and underscore the challenges of measuring money laundering in countries facing information limitations and sanctions. The research contrasts its methodology with previous studies in Iran and internationally.
