Then there are some that are more transparency than secrecy. e.g. is there Open Data on property ownership, Ltd. partnerships, beneficial ownership & company accounts? (4,5,6,7) http://opendatahandbook.org/guide/en/what-is-open-data/ … - Can argue for Open Data, but odd to view full mandatory disclsure as secrecy
Then there are two on country-by-country reporting 8 & 9 - which sit strangely in an index which is about money laundering, lack of international cooperation etc.. 9 is rates a country as moderately secretive if it carries out exchange of CBCR according to OECD agreement
Anyway, I think these design questions are behind some of the gap between Dan & Alex here -- e.g. Dan is saying 'X doesn't make sense as a measure of secrecy/crimeogenic environment' and Alex is saying 'you don't understand how the index is constructed.' Both are true.
Ultimately for Index to be reliable for users it should assess what it says on the tin, objectively & recognisably to practitioners. I hope this conversation continues. Tax people & civil society folks shld talk more. Probably reached limit of Twitter as a medium on this one tho.
