(3rd meeting) 2024 ECOSOC Financing for Development…

• Panel discussion 2: Domestic public resources

This session will address key issues related to domestic resource mobilization, 
international tax cooperation, and illicit financial flows. Participants will discuss 
efforts to strengthen domestic resource mobilization following setbacks during the 
pandemic, amid a changing tax mix and technological innovations. Discussions will 
include issues related to tax administration, public financial management and 
combatting illicit financial flows. With the establishment of an ad hoc 
intergovernmental committee mandated to develop draft terms of reference for a UN
framework convention on international tax cooperation, discussions will also address 
how to promote inclusive and effective international tax cooperation at the UN. 

• Panel discussion 3: Domestic and international private business and finance

Private business and finance are important drivers of sustainable growth and 
development. To deliver on these promises, business activity and investment (both 
foreign and domestic), need to be dynamic, inclusive, risk-informed and sustainable. 
Revitalizing private sector development that is fully aligned with sustainable 
development will be a core task of the fourth International Conference on Financing 
for Development. This session will help build a new narrative for the role of the private 
sector in financing sustainable development.
