UK Hosting Illicit Finance Summit in December

UK Gov

The Illicit Finance Summit has been rescheduled from June to December.

The Foreign Secretary has decided to reschedule the Illicit Finance Summit to December 2026.

The UK Government is determined to tackle illicit finance around the world and deliver on the priorities in the UK Anti‑Corruption Strategy 2025 . The new dates will enable broader participation, ensuring the Summit generates the strongest possible international commitments to drive impact at a time of heightened global economic and geopolitical tension.

The Summit will bring together a diverse coalition of governments, international organisations, civil society, and the private sector to tackle dirty money around the world and strengthen the UK's national security.

The Summit will have an overarching focus on strengthening global enforcement against illicit finance, including by forging new partnerships on information sharing and asset recovery. It will also agree new partnerships to tackle high risk methods of moving dirty money, namely laundering in the property sector, misuse of crypto-assets, and trading in illicit gold.
