What tax havens are costing the U.S. and poor developing countries each year- $40 billion for the U.S. Treasury, 3-10 times foreign aid for poor countires

04/08/2016

The $40 billion estimate of loss to the U.S. Treasury from tax havens is by Robert Morgenthau, U.S. District Attorney for Manhattan. The 3-10 times foreign aid estimate of loss in tax revenues for poor countries dependent on such taxes because of large informal economies, is from Angel Gurria, head of OECD for three times, and as high as ten times from the Tax Justice Network. This means poor infrastructure development, fewer roads and less spent on education and healthcare in poor countries with desperate needs especially in Africa and parts of northern India, Pakistan. Its not just poor countries, as the U.S. also needs the money to replace older crumbling infrastructure, an issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign

The lack of details on financial and banking reform from Bernie Sanders

04/08/2016

An editorial in the Washington Post says Bernie Sanders failed to come up with specific proposals in his interview with the New York Daily News. Sanders says he would breakup the largest banks but has not offered details about this, except to say that he would appoint a Treasury Secretary who would aggressively implement the changes.

Angel Gurria, Secretary General of OECD, on the loss of three times of foreign aid for developing countries though tax evasion using tax havens

04/08/2016

Poorer developing countries have a large informal economy which does not generate tax revenue. These countries depend on foreign investment, taxes on transactions and the small formal economy to generate tax revenue. Angel Gurria, head of the OECD, says ppor countries lose three times what they get in foreign aid because of tax evasion. Estimates show that about half of foreign investment coming to poor countries comes through tax havens. Typical is a transaction by Vodafone that bought Hutchison Essar in India in an offshore to offshore transaction because both companies are based in tax havens in places like the Netherlands and Mauritius. If this was not the case it would generate $2.2 billion in tax revenues for India, about what it costs to provide subsidized meals to schoolchildren in India, according to Max Bearak of the Washington Post. The Panama Papers Scandal in 2016 revived the issue of tax havens, and tax evasion, that was a major issue in the media coverage following the 2008 financial crisis.

The forum at the International House, Morningside Heights, New York, with former heads of the Federal Reserve Volcker, Greenspan, Bernanke and Yellen

04/07/2016

Fareed Zakaria is the host for a forum at the International House in April 2016. Past chairpersons of the Federal Reserve and chairwoman Yellen discuss Fed policies with Zakaria, in a rare situation where the Fed chairpersons are brought together to respond to questions about their policies and problems. At one point Zakaria asks if a former chairperson McChesney Martin's warning about pulling away the punch bowl when the party got started had not been heeded resulting in the 2008 financial crisis. William McChesney Martin served under five administrations since Harry Truman (1951-1970) and followed a policy of raising rates when the economy reached a certain point in its expansion. Martin brought tremendous experience to the Fed, with his work in finance on Wall Street and at Treasury, and in a rare coincidence it was his father who helped found the Federal Reserve under president Wilson in 1913. Posterity might see the work of Bernanke and Yellen in a light similiar to the work of Martin in helping the nation recover from crisis.
