22nd Annual IBA Anti-Corruption Conference : The Role of the Global Financial System in the Fight Against Corruption

17 Jun - 18 Jun 2026

Session information

Panel four : Private equity, hedge funds, crypto and the shadow banking challenge

Wednesday 17 June (1530 - 1645)

Description

Large-scale private capital flows, often operating through complex vehicles, increasingly influence global markets yet remain subject to inconsistent scrutiny. This session examines how the shadow banking system can be exploited for corruption-related laundering and how international reform, or the lack thereof, impacts systemic transparency. This panel will also dissect the fragmented global regulatory landscape, discuss enforcement challenges in tracing crypto transactions across borders, and consider whether principles-based regulation can keep pace with technological innovation.
