This book presents an account of capital flight from sub-Saharan Africa including definition, methods of volume theft. It includes results and analysis of the volume and trend of illicit financial flows from Liberia over a 10-year period from 2004 to 2013. The objective is to determine the level of capital flight and recommend mitigation policies. The research for this book was carried out through a literature review on the subject and direct interviews and meetings with professionals in the fields of economics, banking, financial markets, etc. This book makes a contribution on illicit financial flows from sub-Saharan Africa to Liberia in particular, as existing research on long-term trends in the pattern of illicit flows from African countries is rather sparse and does not include Liberia. The article presents expenditures (2004-2013) from the Global Financial Integrity (GFI) 2015 Report Estimating Illicit Financial Flows from Liberia [1]. This was appropriate, due to the challenges in collecting data ourselves. From 2004 to 2013.
