Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes

Published 6 March 2025

The 2025 Global Forum Capacity Building Report sheds light on the Global Forum’s capacity-building and outreach activities carried out in 2024 in support of the implementation of the tax transparency standards, especially the exchange of information on request (EOIR) and the automatic exchange of financial account information (AEOI). It includes numerous figures, case studies and testimonies reflecting the very impactful results achieved so far.

Launched in 2011 and responding to the growing share of developing countries within the Global Forum membership, the Global Forum Secretariat's capacity-building programme has expanded over the years to cover new areas. Its multipronged activities are empowering jurisdictions all over the world in their fight against tax evasion and other illicit financial flows, ultimately helping them enhance their domestic resource mobilisation.

“Measuring the concrete results in terms of domestic resource mobilisation and contributing to the fight against illicit financial flows is widely showcased in this year’s report, together with a variety of learning opportunities that have been developed during 2024. I am convinced that the increased collaboration that develops through the capacity-building programme benefits the Global Forum as an institution greatly.”
