PREFACE

The Bermuda Digest of Statistics was first produced in 1973. The publication provides an annual summary of various socioeconomic statistics designed for convenient reference. The tables are grouped by theme to form a total of 10 sections. Unless otherwise stated, the statistics are for Bermuda.

Tables have been modified in this edition to enhance the variety of data provided. Some tables from the previous edition have been removed because the data is no longer collected or is now in a different format. Also, in an effort to streamline processes and avoid duplication of data across Government, some tables that were previously available in the Bermuda Digest of Statistics have been removed. We encourage readers to contact directly the respective Government Department or organization to obtain this data. In some cases, the data is available and accessible from the stakeholder’s website.

As was the case with the 2013 Digest of Statistics, this edition contains analyses and graphs in each section. The aim is to supplement each section of tables by providing background information on the topic and identifying significant trends in the data that go beyond what is shown solely by the tables. The graphs serve as a quick way to determine key trends in a visually appealing way.

The name of the department or organization whose reports or published statements were used is noted under each table. The assistance provided by these departments or organizations is acknowledged gratefully.

The figures in the Digest are mainly annual totals and totals for calendar months. Wherever possible, and space permitting, series have been provided for the period 2003 to 2013. Figures for earlier years may be found in previous editions of the Digest.

Melinda Williams Acting Director of Statistics Department of Statistics January 2015

Vital Statistics: An Overview A vital statistics system can be defined as including the legal registration, collection, compilation, analysis, presentation and distribution of statistics pertaining to “vital events”, which for these purposes include live births, deaths, marriages and divorces.1 Vital Statistics: Summary of Past Two Years Figure 1 shows the number of births, deaths, marriages and divorces for 2012 and 2013. The number of births remained constant for these years at a record low of 648. However, the amount of births decreased by 22% over the past decade. The number of deaths rose by 12% between 2012 and 2013, with female deaths increasing by 24%. In contrast, the amount of marriages performed in Bermuda decreased by 22% over the past year to 471, recording the lowest number since 1977 when there were 460 marriages. Between 2012 and 2013, the amount of divorces granted increased by 14%.

Sex Ratio at Birth Shifting The sex ratio at birth is typically about 105 males per 100 females worldwide.2 However, in the past four years, there have been more females born than males in Bermuda (Table 1.6). The result was a sex ratio at birth of 95 males per 100 females for this period. This is an unusual trend given that historically (from 1940 to 2013), 68% of the time there have been more males than females born. According to the U.S.A. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, factors that may lower a population's sex ratio include: increased age of the father, lower maternal weight, stress and environmental toxins (e.g. cigarette smoking).3 The factors that may have contributed to this recent local trend could be determined through further study.

Seniors Represent Three of Every Four Deaths In 2013, almost a third of deaths were to persons 85 years or older, the joint highest proportion of the period. The majority (75%) of deaths occurred at age 65 years and over. In comparison, only 16% of the population was expected to be 65 years and older in 2013. This highlights that the risk of dying is much higher for seniors than the rest of the population. As the population continues to age, it is projected that the share of the population 65 years and older will increase to 20% in 2020. As a result, it is likely that the proportion of deaths that are seniors will rise over time (Figure 2 and Table 1.15).

Number of Marriages Nearly Halves in Past Decade The number of marriages from 2003 to 2013 has decreased by 46%, from 861 to 471 (Figure 3 and Table 1.6). A possible reason for the exceptionally low number of marriages in 2013 may be superstition; there may be a preference to avoid being married in a year ending in ‘13’. This may be determined by whether the number of marriages rebounds in 2014. Other factors which may explain the significant drop in marriages since 2003 include: couples delaying marriage until their education is complete/ careers are built, affordability or couples preferring cohabitation.

United Nations (1953), Principles for a Vital Statistics System, New York, USA. Haupt, A., Kane, T., and Haub, C., (2011), Population Reference Bureau’s Population Handbook (6th Edition), USA. 2 Haupt, A., Kane, T., and Haub, C., (2011), Population Reference Bureau’s Population Handbook (6 th Edition), USA. 3 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Retrieved December 11, 2014 from http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr53/nvsr53_20.pdf 1 2

2

In 2013, one-third of divorcees had marriage durations of 5-9 years (Figure 4 and Table 1.13).

Marriage durations of less than 5 years and 10-14 years were the next most common, each representing 22% of the total. As 78% of marriages that ended in divorce lasted under 15 years, this is evidence that the shorter a couple are married the more likely the marriage will end in divorce.

Section II Education 2013 Quick Facts Total school enrolment: 9,831 Government schools: 5,384 Private schools: 3,275 Bermuda College: 1,172

Bermuda’s Strides to Improve Public Education Since the review of Bermuda’s public schools in 2007 1, Bermuda’s public school system has identified seven strategic priorities to be implemented between 2010 and 2015 to improve the quality of public education and achieve strategic student outcomes. 2 In order to position students to compete academically both locally and globally, the Department of Education adopted the Cambridge International Examinations Curriculum in 2010.2 School Enrolment at Record Low Total school enrolment in Bermuda stood at 9,831 students in 2013 (Table 2.1), the lowest since data was captured in the first edition of the Digest of Statistics released in 1973. A long trend of declining birth rates, a recent increase in emigration and a shift towards pre-tertiary students studying overseas are all potential contributory factors that has led to this record low.3 As students enroled at tutorial sites (e.g. home schools) and General Education Diploma (GED) programmes are excluded from the enrolment tables, it is possible that an increase in enrolment in alternative learning programmes could also be a factor for declining enrolment.

Proportion Enroled in Private Schools Increases For students enroled below the tertiary level, 64% attended Government schools in 2003 compared to 62% in 2013, indicating a 2 percentage point increase in the proportion of private school enrolment over the period (Figure 1). Proportional increases in private school enrolment occurred at each of the primary, middle and secondary school levels.

Enrolment within public schools declined by 1,069 students (17%) between 2003 and 2013 (Table 2.1). Private school enrolment also declined (338 students or 9%) but not by the same extent. In comparison to the eleven-year average, Government school enrolment in 2013 was lower by 431 students and private school enrolment was lower by 251 students.

Primary, Middle and Secondary School Enrolment on the Decline The decrease in primary school enrolment from 2003 to 2013 was 716 students (15%), as shown by Figure 2. Government primary school enrolment represented 71% (509 students) of this overall decline. The fall in Government primary school enrolment over the period outpaced the decline in private primary school enrolment by 4 percentage points, at 16% and 12%, respectively.

Middle school enrolment declined by 365 students (16%) over the eleven-year period (Figure 3). Government middle school enrolment contributed towards 77% (281 students) of this overall decline. The drop in Government middle school enrolment over the period exceeded the decline in private middle school enrolment by 11 percentage points, at 20% and 9%, respectively.

Secondary school enrolment declined by 292 students (12%) between 2003 and 2013 (Figure 4). Government secondary school enrolment represented 84% (245 students) of this overall decline. The reduction in public secondary school enrolment over the period surpassed the decline in private secondary school enrolment by 11 percentage points, at 16% and 5%, respectively.

Section III Health 2013 Quick Facts  Reported Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI): 449  Persons Aged 20 to 29 infected with STI: 177 (39%)  Persons Infected with Chlamydia: 322 (72%)

31

Sexually Transmitted Infections Down Since 2006 As reported by the World Health Organization, worldwide “more than 1 million people acquire a sexually transmitted infection (STI) every day.” 1 The total number of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) reported in Bermuda in 2013 declined by 180 persons (29%) since 2006 (Figure 1). When analyzing the total number of cases by age group, persons between the ages of 20 to 29 years old comprised 53% of the total in 2006 in comparison to 39% in 2013, a decline of 14 percentage points. This was offset by an increase of 14 percentage points during the same period for persons aged 30 years and older with an STI (Table 3.2).

Proportion of Herpes Infections Quadruples Worldwide, approximately 500 million people contract chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or trichomoniasis annually.1 Figure 2 displays a comparison between the proportions of each sexually transmitted infection contracted in 2006 and 2013 for the island. The only categories that had an increase in their proportions over the period were herpes and syphilis, which increased by twelve percentage points and one percentage point, respectively. Nearly seven out of ten persons infected with herpes in 2013 were female. In contrast, more than seven out of every ten persons infected with syphilis in 2013 were male (Table 3.2).

Chlamydia Remains the Most Reported Sexually Transmitted Infection in 2013 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD in the United States.”2 In Bermuda, chlamydia has been the leading reported sexually transmitted infection since 2006. However, the proportion of total STI cases that were chlamydia has declined by 10 percentage points over the 8-year period, from 82% in 2006 to 72% in 2013. The year 2013 had the lowest number of reported cases (322) with the second lowest number (380) reported in 2012. As with herpes, women were disproportionately impacted as seven out of ten of those infected by chlamydia in 2013 were female (Table 3.2).

Number of Immunizations Fluctuates Table 3.3 shows that the number of immunizations for travel purposes fluctuated significantly year-to-year for many diseases such as hepatitis A, meningococcal meningitis, polio, etc.

Instances of unusually high numbers of immunizations for diseases could be attributable to group travel. Conversely, occurrences of comparatively low numbers of immunizations may be partially due to a shortage of certain vaccines, as was the case with polio, meningitis and diphtheria vaccinations for children in 2013.3 Immunizations for Hepatitis A on the Decline There have been more travel-related immunizations for hepatitis A in each of the past ten years than for any other disease (Table 3.3). Hepatitis A immunizations for travel purposes have declined by 36% between 2010 and 2013, from a peak of 1,342 in 2010 to 863 in 2013. The lowest number of hepatitis A vaccines recorded was 760 in 2004 (Figure 3).

Section IV Labour 2013 Quick Facts  Total Occupied Jobs: 34,277  Leading Occupations: Service Workers, Shop and Market Sales Workers  Number of Private Sector Work Permits: 11,330

Decline in Jobs for the Fifth Consecutive Year The Employment Survey has recorded a steady decline in the job market since 2008. The number of occupied jobs fell by 5,936 (15%) from 40,213 in 2008 to 34,277 in 2013 (Figure 1).

This is the lowest number of filled jobs since 1995. The decline in the past year amounted to 1,116 jobs (3%).

More Plant and Machine Operators and Assemblers are Seniors In 2012, one-fifth of all occupations held were that of Service Workers, Shop and Market Sales Workers1, followed by Professionals2 at 19%. This fact held true in 2013. The highest proportion of Service Workers, Shop and Market Sales Workers (12%) were between the ages of 50 to 54 whereas 16% of Professionals fell into the 30 to 34 age bracket in 2013. Plant and Machine Operators and Assemblers3 were the only occupational group which had seniors as the leading age group, representing 16% of the total. Of the seniors in this occupational category, more than half (58%) were motor-car drivers which includes taxis and chauffeurdriven cars. The implication of this is that a significant proportion of job holders in this occupational group are of retirement age and will need to be replaced in the near future (Table 4.1).

Leading Economic Activity: Wholesale/Retail Trade and Restaurants/Hotels As was the case in 2012, the leading divisions for economic activity were Wholesale/Retail Trade and Restaurants/Hotels (24%); Public Administration, Education, Health and Social Work (23%) and Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services (19%). These three divisions accounted for nearly two-thirds of all economic activity in Bermuda in 2013 (Table 4.2).

Fewest Number of Private Sector Work Permits Issued Since Turn of the Century Between 2002 and 2007, there was a steady rise in the number of work permits issued for private sector employees (Figure 2). In 2008, after the onset of the economic recession, there was a shift in this trend and total work permits declined until 2010 and rebounded the following year. This fluctuating trend was influenced primarily by the issuance of 3 month work permits and 2 to 5 year work permits. Between 2012 and 2013, the total number of work permits issued have dropped by 2,799 (20%) to 11,330, the lowest number since 2000. Three month work permits accounted for 43% of the total for 2013 (Table 4.4).

Section V Prices and Wages 2013 Quick Facts Annual Change in Selected Average Retail Prices  Apples (3 lb bag, Macintosh) $7.24 (+15.7%)  Butter (1 lb package) $4.59 (-5.0%)  Electricity (monthly per 700 KW hrs) $293.88 (-1.2%)

How Price Changes are Monitored The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures and monitors changes in the average price of consumer goods and services purchased by householders. Prices affect our daily living, from purchasing groceries to paying bills. The current index is based on a “basket” of goods and services derived from the results of the 2004 Household Expenditure Survey (HES). The basket is due to be updated in 2015 as a result of the 2013 HES findings. Goods and services are priced on a monthly basis.

The categories included in the Selected Average Retail Prices shown in Table 5.2 are:  Grain and Grain Products  Meat, Poultry and Fish  Dairy Products and Substitutes  Fats and Cooking Oils  Fruits and Vegetables  Beverages  Miscellaneous  Household and Personal  Liquor and Tobacco  Fuel and Power  Transportation  Recreation and Entertainment Historical Price Changes: 2004-2013 Generally, prices of goods and services rise over longer periods of time, a trend known as inflation. However, there were a few exceptions between 2004 and 2013, namely the prices of imported codfish, which decreased by 3.4%, and postal rates, cash bus fares and cash ferry fares, which remained constant (Table 5.2).

Figure 1 shows the six items that more than doubled in cost between 2004 and 2013. Of these six items, the greatest percentage increase was for cheese (+145.1%), followed by toilet paper (+134.5%).

Recent Price Changes: 2012-2013 Of the 69 items shown in Table 5.2, fifty-one items increased in price between 2012 and 2013.

The prices of the five items with the largest percentage increases in the past year are shown in Figure 2. The items with the largest percentage increases were the price of apples (+15.7%) followed closely by lettuce (+14.0%).

The prices of the leading five items with the largest percentage decreases are displayed in Figure 3. By far, the largest percentage decrease was for powdered household cleanser (11.5%), with butter a distant second (-5.0%).

Section VI Home Finance 2013 Quick Facts  Government Deficit (Fiscal year 13/14): $332 million  Corporation of Hamilton Deficit: $3.4 million  Corporation of St. George Deficit: $180,000

Government’s Deficit Gap Widens For the eleventh consecutive year, Bermuda Government’s revenue has fallen short of its expenditure (Figure 1). The last time revenue exceeded expenditure was in the 2002/03 fiscal year. In the 2013/14 fiscal year, expenditure was 38% (or $332 million) higher than revenue, the largest deficit of the eleven-year period. The primary component of total revenue during the past fiscal year was payroll tax at 37% whilst wages and salaries were the single largest item of expenditure, comprising 35% of the total (Table 6.1).

Bermuda Monetary Authority’s Balance Increases Over Decade From 2004 to 2013, total assets, liabilities, capital and reserves increased by 45%, balancing at $190.7 million. In 2013, securities contributed the most to total assets at 55% of the total. On the liabilities, capital and reserves section of the balance sheet, notes and coins in circulation comprised the majority of the total at 76% (Table 6.2).

Corporation of Hamilton’s Expenditure Exceeds Revenue for 6th Consecutive Year The Corporation of Hamilton’s revenue exceeded expenditure from 2003 to 2007 but fell short of expenditures between 2008 and 2013 (Figure 2). Over the eleven-year period, revenue increased by 17% and expenditure by 66%. In 2013, expenditure was 16% higher than revenue, resulting in a deficit of $3.4 million. One of the factors contributing to the shortfall of revenue in 2012 was the cessation of collecting wharfage fees, which remained in effect in 2013. The most significant contributor to total revenue in 2013 was taxes at 40%. Staff costs were the largest item of expenditure, comprising 32% of the total (Table 6.3).

Corporation of St. George’s Revenue and Expenditure Increases in 2013 Figure 3 shows a trend of decreasing revenue and expenditure since 2005 for the Corporation of St. George. Revenue declined by 35% and expenditure by 24% over the nine-year period.

However, expenditure increased by $136,000 from 2012 to 2013, the first increase since 2006.

Revenue also increased between 2012 and 2013 by a total of $168,000. The net result was a reduction in the deficit over the past year by 15% to $180,000 (Table 6.4).

The Corporation of St. George was no longer able to collect wharfage in 2012 due to the introduction of the Municipalities Reform Bill 2010. As a result, the Bermuda Government increased significantly the grants provided to the Corporation in 2012 in an attempt to lessen this impact. Government transfers (grants) increased further in 2013 to $1.6 million, an increase of 23% over the previous year. A heavy reliance on Government transfers as a revenue source is evidenced by the fact that 86% of the Corporation of St. George’s total revenues were from Government transfers in 2013 (Table 6.4).

For the years 2005 to 2007, significant capital outlays were made relating to damage sustained from Hurricane Fabian. These capital outlays stopped in 2008 and contributed to a reduction in total expenditure up to 2012. Staff and office expenses were the largest expense items in 2013 at 70% of total expenditure (Table 6.4).

Section VII External Trade 2013 Quick Facts  Total Imports: $1.00 billion  Primary Imports: Food, Beverages & Tobacco (20%)  Total Exports: $21.71 million

Value of Imports Continues to Rebound Few goods are manufactured on the island therefore Bermuda relies heavily on imported products. Figure 1 shows that the value of imports exceeded $1 billion in 2013 for the first time since 2009. Between 2012 and 2013, the value of imports increased by 14%.

Leading Commodity Group Imported is Food, Beverages & Tobacco Food, Beverages & Tobacco held the highest share of the total value of imports in 2013 at 20%, followed by Finished Equipment (e.g. furniture, books, toys, etc.) at 17% and Fuel at 16% (Figure 2 and Table 7.1). This is the first time since 1982 that Fuel has been one of the leading three commodity groups imported.

Most Imports from the United States The United States is the main source of Bermuda’s imports. In 2013, the United States contributed 68% of the total imported products followed by Canada (12%) and the United Kingdom (3%) (Figure 3). As the United States’ share decreased from 80% of total imports in 2003 to 68% in 2013, the Caribbean and Canada gained in their share from 4% in 2003 to 7% and 12% in 2013, respectively.

Exports Continue Upwards Trend Exports consist of goods that are manufactured in Bermuda and goods that have been imported and then re-exported. In 2013, the value of Bermuda’s exports stood at $21.71 million, slightly above the 2006 to 2013 average of $21.26 million (Table 7.3). According to data derived from H.M. Customs Bermuda, the value of Bermuda’s exports increased by 28% from 2012 to 2013.

The leading three categories exported in 2013 were: 1. musical instruments; 2. electrical machinery equipment and parts; and 3. aircraft, spacecraft and parts.

Section VIII Transport 2013 Quick Facts Registered road vehicles: 46,853 Reported accidents: 1,776 Road casualties: 957 Road fatalities: 9

73

Decline in Registered Road Vehicles Continues The Transport Control Department (TCD) is responsible for the administration and operation of all motor vehicles in Bermuda. One of their main functions is to register and license vehicles.

The 46,947 registered road vehicles in 2013 were the lowest number recorded since 2004. The total number of registered vehicles has fallen by 3,924 (8%) from 2009 to 2013 (Figure 1 and Table 8.1). The largest contributors to this overall decline were decreases in the number of auxiliary cycles and private cars by 1,732 and 1,062, respectively. However, private cars remained the leading category in the number of registered road vehicles in 2013 at 46% of the total, followed by motor cycles & scooters at 32%.

Auxiliary cycles have continued to decline each of the past five years partly due to closures of livery (rental) cycle businesses as a result of declining tourism arrivals. In particular, the number of tourists dropped significantly in the last year, especially for cruise passenger arrivals (see Visitor Arrivals Table 9.1). Coupled with declining tourism figures, Bermuda’s job market has contracted due to the economic downturn (see Table 4.1). Bermudians and non-Bermudians have been affected by unemployment and some have left the island to seek opportunities elsewhere which reduced the need for registered road vehicles. Alternatively, some residents are unable to afford to license their vehicles due to job losses.

Year-to-Year Decline in Accidents Since 2010 The number of reported road traffic accidents has declined each year for the past four years, amounting to a total decline of 435 (20%) for this period (Figure 2 and Table 8.3). In 2013, reported accidents involving private cars, trucks, pedestrians and livery and auxiliary cycles were the lowest during the 11-year period. Of all registered road vehicles that were involved in accidents in 2013, 48% were private cars, 36% were livery, auxiliary or motorcycles, 10% were trucks and 4% were taxis. However, of the total registered vehicles in 2013, 46% were private cars, 41% were livery, auxiliary or motorcycles, 8% were trucks and 1% were taxis. This indicates that private cars, trucks and taxis were disproportionately more likely to be involved in accidents based on their share of registered vehicles. On the other hand, livery, auxiliary and motorcycles were disproportionally less likely to be involved in accidents. The reasons for this could be a topic for further study.

Inattention and inexperience have been the leading causes of road traffic accidents since 2003, representing 40% and 15% of all causes, respectively (Table 8.4). In absolute terms, in 2013 there were record lows in these two categories for the period.

The total number of road casualties has declined from 1,251 in 2003 to 957 in 2013, a 24% decrease (Table 8.5). This is significant from a health-care perspective as this could have resulted in a drop in associated total medical costs in real terms. The number of road fatalities has flat-lined over the past three years at nine deaths per year. The highest number of fatalities during the period was 17 in 2008 and the lowest was 7 in 2004.

Total visitors: 576,373 Air visitors: 236,343 Cruise visitors: 340,030 Peak month for visitors: July (17%)

Bermuda’s Paths to International Travel Bermuda’s only airport was first built between 1941 and 1943 and is known today as the L.F. Wade International Airport. Regular flights currently operate to 14 destinations in Europe, Canada and the U.S.A.1 There were 12,664 flights in 2013, a drop from the 12,827 flights in 2012 (Table 8.8).

There are three cruise ship ports in Bermuda: Dockyard (Heritage Wharf and King’s Wharf), Hamilton (#5/6 Passenger Terminal) and St. George’s (Penno’s Wharf). There were 125 cruise ship visits in 2013 compared to 157 in 2012.2 3 Cruise Arrivals Surpass Air Arrivals Since 2006 Total visitor arrivals fluctuated over the period 2003-2013 (Figure 1). However, there was an increase in total visitor arrivals over the period of 19%. The 576,373 total visitors in 2013 was slightly higher than the eleven-year average of 572,287, although total arrivals have declined each of the past two years.

The number of cruise ship visitors surpassed air visitors from 2006 onwards. Cruise ship arrivals in 2013 were 8% higher than the eleven-year average whereas air arrivals in 2013 were 8% lower than the eleven-year average.

Most Visitors from the United States In 2013, eighty-two percent of all visitors to Bermuda were from the U.S.A. (Figure 2). This share comprised 72% of air arrivals compared to 88% for cruise arrivals. These high proportions may largely be attributed to the U.S.A.’s close proximity to Bermuda, as conveniently many cruises and flights arrive from this country. The leading regions for air visitors from the U.S.A. were the Mid-Atlantic (55%), North-East (17%) and South-East (15%) (Table 9.2).

Residents of Canada were the second largest contributor to total visitors, representing 8% of visitor arrivals. Unlike American visitors, Canadian visitors were more likely to arrive by air than cruise ship. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of Canadian air visitors were from Ontario (Table 9.2).

July Most Popular Month for Visitors Figure 3 shows that the peak month for visitor arrivals in 2013 was July (17%) and the fewest visitors arrived in January (1%). The number of visitors increased each month until July, at which point arrivals declined each month for the remainder of the year, although October broke this trend. Furthermore, April, September and October represented months of transition from the off-season (November-March) to the peak season (May-August). Although the peak season is one-third of a year, it represented 62% of 2013’s total visitor arrivals.

Section X Miscellaneous 2013 Quick Facts  Value of Selected Domestic Agricultural Output: $4.9 million  Telephone Subscribers (2013/14): 36,311  Number of Fires: 1,830

95

Leading Contributor to Value of Domestic Agricultural Output: Vegetables Although approximately 80% of Bermuda’s food requirements are met through importation, domestic agriculture still plays a role in the sustenance of residents.1 In 2013, domestic agricultural output of vegetables, fruit, honey and sales from the Government Marketing Centre was valued at $4.9 million, comparable to the average of $4.8 million between 2003 and 2013.

The 38% increase in value of these selected domestic agricultural outputs in the past year is attributable to the increase in the value of vegetables produced (Table 10.1).

Vegetables have been the largest single contributor to the value of domestic agricultural output throughout the period 2003 to 2013. In 2013, vegetables comprised 89% of the value of the selected domestic agricultural output. Figure 1 shows that the value of domestic vegetables has fluctuated significantly over the period. They have rebounded from a low in 2012 of $3.1 million to $4.4 million in 2013, an increase of 44%.

Landlines on a Steady Decline The number of Bermuda Telephone Company telephone subscribers has been on the decline each year for the past eleven years (Figure 2). The decline in telephone subscribers between 2003/04 and 2013/14 was 34% for both residential and commercial subscribers. A likely reason for this decline could be a shift towards using cellular devices to replace traditional landlines.

Applications for Planning Permission: Lowest in Decades Applications for planning permission are required for all types of development, including new buildings, additions, alterations, demolitions, etc.2 The number of applications for planning permission has fluctuated over the past eleven years, although the general trend has been a decline (Figure 3). Over the period, the number of applications has nearly halved, from 1,701 applications in 2003 to 884 applications in 2013 (Table 10.8). The 2012 and 2013 number of planning applications were the lowest since 1966, possibly a result of Bermuda’s continuing recession.
