According to a website monitoring black marketing activities, Pakistan ranks 31st out of 91 countries in the world with a black market value of over six billion dollars.
According to Havocscope, black market value is the estimated value of the global black market. This figure is determined by combining the total value of 52 black market products and activities with the total value of the black market activity in 91 countries.
World crime statistics and values are gathered from law enforcement and security agencies, international organisations, industry lawyers and representatives and news articles.
The website stated that Pakistan black market’s estimated value is 6.12 billion dollars per annum with cocaine price in the country at 118.7 dollars per gram. Heroin price is at three dollars per gram. Human smugglers are paid at least 22,000 dollars and human traffickers’ price is at 342 dollars. Similarly, book piracy in Pakistan is estimated at 55 million dollars, counterfeiting at 358 million dollars, cigarette smuggling at 116 million dollars and drug trafficking 4.8 billion dollars.
Gas and oil smuggling is estimated at 66 million dollars.
Havocscope further stated that heroin trafficking in Pakistan was hovering around 1.2 billion dollars, illegal logging at 782 million dollars, music piracy at 25 million dollars and software privacy at 278 million dollars.
On the other hand, India stands 18th out of 91 countries in the world with the black market estimated value of 16.84 billion dollars, more than double as compared to Pakistan.
Meanwhile, India’s estimated value in prostitution is 8.4 billion dollars while the website did not show any figures regarding this sector in Pakistan.
