<p>As the Answer to Question 35790 set out, the Action Plan for anti-money laundering
and counter-terrorist finance states that there is no definitive measure of the scale
of money laundering, but the best available international estimate, by the United
Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC), of amounts laundered globally are equivalent
to 2.7% of global GDP or US$1.6 trillion in 2009. The Department for Business, Innovation
and Skills does not hold data on criminal assets held abroad. Criminal assets recovered
since 2009 under asset sharing arrangements were set out in the previous answer.</p>
