Global Economic Crime Survey

Tanzania versus the World

Globally, the 2018 Survey saw an increase in the proportion of respondents who reported having experienced an economic crime in the last 24 months of operations. Half (49%) of our global respondents reported experiencing an economic crime in their area of work compared to 36% who reported the same in 2016. In Tanzania, 57% of our respondents indicated that they had experienced at least one form of economic crime in the last two years.

The marked rise in incidences of economic crime is seen to transcend regional blocks. Whereas Africa continues to take the lead in the pervasiveness of economic crimes in the last 24 months at 62% in 2018 up from 57% in 2016, other regions were also not immune to the brunt of the vices.
