The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) report, ‘Mapping Risk and Resilience in the Global Illicit Gold Economy’, assesses security, governance, and economic risks associated with illicit gold production and trafficking. It benchmarks vulnerabilities and preparedness in ten gold-producing countries across the Amazon basin, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, including Brazil, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mali, Myanmar, Peru, the Philippines, and Sudan.
The report utilizes its proprietary Illicit Gold Preparedness and Response Matrix to evaluate each country's vulnerability and resilience across security, governance, and economic dimensions. It further details the national, regional, and global impacts of illicit gold, encompassing environmental threats, money laundering, corruption, tax revenue loss, financing of non-state armed groups, and state capacity erosion. The analysis aims to inform policy priorities, identify best practices, and outline actions for coordinated regional and international responses, offering recommendations for producer states, transit hubs, and destination countries.
