India lost a whopping $123 billion in black money during 2001-2010, making it the eight largest victim of illicit financial outflow, a US-based research and advocacy organisation said in a report.

However, India’s black money loss of $123 billion in 10 years is far less than that of China, which according to the report suffered a loss of $2.74 trillion during the same period (2001 to 2010), followed by Mexico ($476 billion), Malaysia ($285 billion), Saudi Arabia ($201 billion), Russia ($152 billion), the Philippines ($138 billion) and Nigeria ($129 billion).

India is the eight largest victim of black money loses, said the report released by Global Financial Integrity (GFI). India and the Philippines are the only South Asian countries to figure in the top 20 list of such nations. In 2010, India suffered $1.6 billion in illicit financial outflows.

“$123 billion is a massive amount of money for the Indian economy to lose,” said Dev Kar, GFI lead economist and co-author of the report.

While progress has been made in recent years, India continues to lose a large amount of wealth in illicit financial outflows, said GFI director Raymond Baker.

“Much focus has been paid in the media on recovering the Indian black money that has already been lost. This focus is for naught as long as the Indian economy continues to hemorrhage illicit money,” he said.
