How Big Is Global Money Laundering, Really? Most people have no idea how massive money laundering really is.
Because it’s hidden by design, no one can measure it precisely—but the best estimates put it at 3–5% of global GDP. That’s roughly $4 trillion laundered every year in a ~$115 trillion world economy.
In this clip, I break down:
Why it’s so hard to measure money laundering
Where the “3–5% of GDP” estimate comes from
What’s likely included in that $4T figure
When you look at the scale, it’s impossible to ignore its impact on financial systems, regulation, and business risk.
How is your organization assessing exposure to this hidden $4T economy?
