White liste: the OECD charade is going on
11/13/2009
Liechtenstein and Singapore have passed into the "OECD's whitewash, sorry, white list category" (TJN wording).
Liechtenstein scored an 87 percent opacity score and Singapore scored a 79 percent opacity score on TJN Mapping the Faultlines project.
Thanks to Luxembourg - the first jurisdiction that was congratulated - and its draft law to enforce the OECD agreements, everyone now knows that there is a huge loophole in the enforcement of the agreements: the creativity of jurisdiction to bypass agreements.
Luxembourg has imagined the "discharging fine", that would allow practically banks to keep secrecy and make money thanks to a possible new service that could be charged to clients.
