Résumé
Cet article considère les flux financiers illicites (FFI) comme toute pratique illégale et corrompue visant à obtenir de l’argent sans procédure régulière et non conforme aux cadres de réglementation financière et commerciale internationaux. Sur la base de cette définition de travail, l’article explore les flux financiers illicites dans les secteurs miniers de quatre pays (Afrique du Sud, Botswana, Namibie et Zimbabwe), en mettant l’accent sur les implications socio-économiques pour les communautés des zones minières actuelles ou anciennes. Des problèmes de mesure sont également tentés. En effet, les FFI ont de graves conséquences pour les communautés (comme pour les pays). Les résultats sont mitigés quant à la quantification des FFI dans le secteur minier, mais il est clair que les FFI ont des effets négatifs majeurs sur le bien-être et la stabilité politique. Les estimations montrent des niveaux élevés de FFI pour le secteur minier dans les quatre pays résultant d’une erreur de facturation commerciale.
