⚠️Oxfam reports that the world's richest people likely hide $3.55 trillion in offshore zones.

The top 0.1% hold assets exceeding the combined wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people). This 2024 study, marking the 10th anniversary of the "Panama Papers," reveals that the ultra-wealthy evade taxes via offshore schemes. The hidden $3.55 trillion equals 3% of global GDP and twice the GDP of the 44 least developed countries.

Christian Hallum, head of Oxfam's tax program, states this reflects power and impunity, placing the wealthy above laws binding ordinary people. Consequently, public hospitals and schools lose funding, and inequality tears the social fabric.
