The IMF made their statements which one believes or not supported by their data and the local agencies make their statements which one believes or not supported by their data and is reported by the media.
Licks 2 I believe is the best expert who can give very detailed analysis on data collection to say the 'correct' thing. I respect his view on data analysis.
I along with many others do not want to carry any more taxes especially when there are laws to be enforced and it seems these days nothing gets done unless someone posts a video online showing the police some suspected crimonal activity that they must take action. Still willing to believe though that there are a lot of hard working police.

further.... " In a recent report, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) explained that The Bahamas incurs a cost of 4.7 percent of gross domestic prodict (GDP) because of crime, and ranks third among 17 countries in the region in relation to the cost of crime, behind Honduras and El Salvador, " where crime is revognizably widespread." The IMF said the Bahamas incurs the highest crime related costs eithin the Caribbean."
See todays Nassau Guardian Tuesday, April 17, 2018 front page article 'PM: $200m lost a year to corruption by Travis Cartwright-Carroll Guardian Senior Reporter "Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis said that the Bahamas loses over $200 million a year due to corruption."
Good idea Chucky....it just seems yhey dont want to do so ...bearing in mind more paying ones may also run away... Attention is needed for the victims. We are a society where there is some 200 million dollars annually of corruption in which mostly the poor suffer from it and amazingly very little white collar crime.
Banks have for over a 100 years kept records and have been issuing credit references and other documents to FOREiGN schools, Embassies, and many local and international bodies, organizations on which decisions concerning millons of dollars, projects on which millions of dollars, deals, merchandise etc are made daily. Banks know and have multiples of records from employee, employer, supplier, seller etc can be verified and are in the best possible position to make and issue any statement of credit on anyone.....the govt should stay out of this ..!,,!
Ok...ok.ok...now is a good time to brung it up...on every construction site where there are dangers and workers are mandated to follow strict guidelines.....such as a sign in out register to see who is on site left or who is missing...Perhaps the officials can check the Register.
@ MadHatter.....well dats also not finding any employer wealthy enough to able to hire dem ...guilty of hiring illegals....not finding any homeowner landlord wealthy enough to rent to illegals....not findong any trafficker guilt.....why OMG how many fined so far ....????...all these people wealthy enough.....but somehow dey so smart not to get caught an charged.....its seems a darnest ting if youse smart you can never dont do no wrong....dats why $ 200 million a year in corruption....
The govt knows some $200,000,000. Thats 200 million or some 5 to 10 % of GDP revenue is lost to corruption eavh year
Thats a lot of white collar crime there and if one were to look at crime reports usually has mostlly murders, purse snatchings shoplifting etc...white collar crime seems non existant because some Bahamians friends, family lovers etc choose to protect white collar criminals.
$200 million a year can go to hire police, law enforcement etc with the effective, expeditious carrying out of existing laws and getting justice for the victims....and renovating PMH.....kudos to Roc wic Doc for platform on fighting corruption. fight corruption.
