Retour sur le G20 2014 : G20 High-Level Principles on Beneficial Ownership Transparency
En 2014, le G20 qui s’est tenu en Australie a donné lieu à une déclaration très intéressante pour nos fins visant à accroître la transparence de la détention de la propriété des personnes juridiques (ici).
The G20 considers financial transparency, in particular the transparency of beneficial ownership of legal persons and arrangements, is a high priority. The G20 Leaders’ Declaration from St Petersburg states, ‘We encourage all countries to tackle the risks raised by the opacity of legal persons and legal arrangements’.
At their meeting in Sydney in 2014, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors requested the ACWG provide them with an update before their April meeting on concrete actions the G20 could take to lead by example on beneficial ownership transparency and the implementation of relevant FATF standards. Following the G20 ACWG meeting in Sydney, ACWG co-chairs reported to Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors that the ACWG agreed that G20 countries will lead by example by developing G20 High-Level Principles on Beneficial Ownership Transparency that will set out concrete measures G20 countries will take to prevent the misuse of and ensure transparency of legal persons and legal arrangements.
