Illicit revenue

Illicit revenue refers to financial gains obtained through illegal or unauthorized means. This category encompasses a wide range of activities, including money laundering, tax evasion, bribery, and corruption. Such revenue often originates from criminal enterprises or through the manipulation of financial systems to conceal the true source of the funds. The illicit nature of this revenue poses significant challenges for financial regulators, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers. It undermines the integrity of financial systems, erodes public trust, and can have severe economic consequences. Addressing illicit revenue requires coordinated efforts at both national and international levels to implement effective regulations, enhance transparency, and strengthen enforcement mechanisms.
