The Informal Economy and GDP in Côte d'Ivoire: A Dynamic Nexus

This commentary examines the role of the informal economy in Côte d'Ivoire's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). No empirical data analysis was conducted; instead, a qualitative approach explored economic indicators and sectoral dynamics. While the formal economy is crucial for official statistics, the informal sector plays a vital economic function that cannot be overlooked. Policy makers should consider fostering an environment conducive to growth within both sectors to maximise overall economic stability and inclusivity.
