On 25 May, we are launching the annual transparency campaign “No Country for Shadow”. Since 2012, the campaign has aimed to raise public awareness about the benefits of taxes and the harm caused by the shadow economy to our personal well-being and the welfare of the state.

Campaign objectives:

  • to draw public attention to the scale of the shadow economy and the damage it causes to the state and to every resident;
  • to encourage understanding of how each of us can contribute to reducing the shadow economy;
  • to bring together leaders from the public sector, business and society to achieve these goals.

This year, we are focusing on the value created by fairly paid taxes and how they return to our everyday lives through healthcare, education, transport, security, infrastructure and other public services.

Every choice to act transparently contributes to what we have and use every day. By creating value honestly, we strengthen trust in the state, business and one another.

What are we doing this year?

25 May, 10:00 – Campaign opening

How much does the shadow economy cost us?

A discussion where we will present the results of a representative public survey and talk about how people understand the benefits of taxes, where they encounter the shadow economy, and what the state, business and society can do to reduce it.

The discussion will feature Kristupas Vaitiekūnas, Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, Adomas Klimantas, economist at Investors’ Forum, and others. The list is being updated.

A lesson for upper-secondary school students

Together with our education partners Edukamentas, we are preparing a lesson for students on the benefits of taxes, the harm caused by the shadow economy and responsible citizenship.

The lesson will help young people clearly and simply see the connection between everyday choices, fairly paid taxes and the public services we all use.

Lesson materials and information for schools: to be updated.

The campaign is initiated by the community of transparency ambassadors Clear Wave and the association Investors’ Forum.
