New research tracks evolving financial and economic crime risks, unveils the Secretariat Economic Crime Index (SECI), and highlights key trends shaping 2025 and beyond
ATLANTA and DUBAI, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Secretariat, the leading global legal, risk, and regulatory advisory firm, has released its inaugural Global Financial and Economic Crime Outlook 2025, providing a comprehensive analysis of financial and economic crime threats worldwide. The report maps jurisdictional risks, assesses emerging crime trends, and introduces the Secretariat Economic Crime Index (SECI)—a groundbreaking new country-by-country risk assessment measuring financial and economic crime factors impacting business viability.
Financial crime remains an alarming global concern, with illicit financial flows projected to surge between USD 4.5 trillion to USD 6 trillion by 2030, according to Secretariat estimates. Money laundering, fraud, bribery, and market abuse continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, fueled by shifting geopolitical and regulatory priorities, rapid advancements in virtual assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning.
"The financial crime landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace," says Secretariat Managing Director Bhavin Shah. "Our report equips organizations with the intelligence they need to navigate these complex risks, anticipate threats, and implement proactive safeguards."
Key Findings of the Report
Mapping Global Risk with the SECI Index
At the core of the report is the Secretariat Economic Crime Index (SECI), a proprietary tool that analyzes financial and economic crime risks across 177 countries. The SECI score (ranging from 0 to 4) integrates Secretariat's expert analysis with data from three established global benchmarks: the Basel AML Index, the Corruption Perceptions Index, and the Organized Crime Index. Countries are categorized into four distinct risk tiers:
2025 and Beyond: The Future of Financial and Economic Crime Prevention
The report outlines ten major financial and economic crime trends shaping the next decade, including:
As financial and economic crime becomes more sophisticated, regulators, financial institutions, and corporations must adopt data-driven, technology-enabled strategies to safeguard the global financial system.
"We're entering a new era where rules are being redefined in real time, not only due to technological disruption, but also because the global economy is fragmenting, legal systems are retrenching, and global norms are being rewritten," says Shah. "Alongside these shifts, rising tariffs are creating new vulnerabilities. This environment gives criminal networks new opportunities to adapt, exploit weaknesses, and outpace regulators, reinforcing the need for more agile enforcement strategies."
"In a rapidly shifting compliance landscape, organizations must move beyond traditional risk assessments," notes Secretariat Managing Director Ralph Stobwasser. "The SECI index and our in-depth country analysis brings clarity to jurisdictional vulnerabilities and emerging crime trends. Prevention is key, but readiness is vital. Institutions must react, respond, and remediate to minimize impact, restore trust, and ensure resilience. At the same time, we must recognize that protectionist tariffs, while aimed at safeguarding domestic industries, can unintentionally fuel the shadow economy. Distorted market prices create opportunities for smuggling and trade-based money laundering, particularly where enforcement is weak. These dynamics allow criminal networks not just to avoid tariffs, but to fund broader illicit operations under the radar."
The Secretariat Global Financial and Economic Crime Outlook will publish annually, establishing itself as a trusted resource and barometer for international business activity.
