@fp2p@viewfromthecave hard to buy idea of unanimous agreement that tax avoidance =IFF . See interagency WP on defn: http://www.un.org/esa/ffd/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Illicit-financial-flows-conceptual-paper_FfDO-working-paper.pdf …pic.twitter.com/qqQ4HnYBNE

Is it possible to agree that: 1) Avoidance is bad and should have been in SDGs 2) No real consensus around avoidance counting as IFFs ....

3) Such a focus now on FFD/DRM, especially around funding SDGs, that avoidance is already getting attention, marginal impact of SDG unclear?
