Abstract
In order to achieve a political or social goal, individuals or subnational groups may use violence or threaten to use violence in order to intimidate a large audience beyond the immediate victim. (Sandler, T., & Enders, W). The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) report 2020 states that the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) comprises approximately 170,000 terrorist occurrences from 1970 to 2019. In 2019, the economic impact of terrorism was estimated to be $US 33 billion. Terrorism cost the global economy $855 billion between 2000 and 2019. The total number of terrorist deaths fell 15% to 13,826 in 2019, marking the sixth consecutive year of reduction. This is a 59% decrease from the high in 2014, when 33,438 individuals were killed in terrorist strikes. South Asia suffered the most damage, followed by Central America and the Caribbean. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have both had the highest number of terrorist deaths of any region. South Asia experienced approximately 74,000 deaths between 2002 and 2019. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia had the greatest economic impact in 2019, with $12.5 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively. (GTI Report-2020).
