World Bank and IMF in Washington soon after ICIJ and more than 100 other news organisations began revealing the results of the media collaboration's investigation, according to the ICIJ.
US President Barack Obama, meanwhile, pointed out that the biggest problem was that many of the schemes revealed by the Panama Papers were legal. “It's not that they’re breaking the laws, it's that the laws are so poorly designed."
The revelations reignited the debate about the need for public registries in which information about who ultimately controls a company be accessible to all.
The UK has made disclosure of beneficial owner data mandatory and public, but British overseas territories such the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, some of the busiest offshore havens, have agreed to share that information only when it is requested by law enforcement agencies.
Citing the Panama Papers, the US government also announced Thursday that it has sent legislation to Congress to create a centralised federal registry of the actual owners of any newly created company. The registry would help law enforcement authorities ferret out the real people behind anonymous companies used in money launderingand other wrongdoing.
The governments of Australia and Germany have said that they too intend to create public registries of company owners.
