Definition of 'Global Recovery Rate'

Investopedia explains 'Global Recovery Rate'

According to data from PricewaterhouseCoopers' 2005 Global Economic Crime Survey, out of the 3600+ companies surveyed worldwide, it was found that 45% of them experienced some form of economic crime during 2003 - 2005. Unfortunately, the global recovery rate was only 27%. In other words, most firms affected by fraud and other economic crimes do not recover most of their losses, which can be substantial as the average amount of loss is $1.7 million.
