Big flaky misinvoicing numbers now seen as argument against aid. "Poor countries dont need charity". Because illicit financial flows..!https://twitter.com/guardian/status/820210337513357313 …

Yes, correct. For every dollar of aid the developing world receives, they lose $24 in net outflows. It is an aggregate figure.
meaningless though: Aggregating small/poorer economies & large economies/ non aid recipients into 'they'

My own country of Swaziland: $100mn in aid, $600mn in illicit outflows.

these are all *gross* apparent illicit outflows (if you think the misinvoicing methodology works despite SA gold etc..)
