An inclusive approach to address informal economy in Morocco

An inclusive approach to address informal economy in Morocco

ASA-C1-052020-54-7080

In its broadest acceptance, the informal economy (IE) continues to be a highly pervasive and intricate phenomenon, accounting for up to 30% of GDP according to the latest statistics from Bank Al-Maghrib (2018). National and international institutions estimate that between 60% and 80% of the working population in Morocco is engaged in informal activity.

In this opinion, the CESE confirms that the IE is plural in its widest understanding – encompassing many categories. It should be pointed out, however, that it is the “non-informal subsistence” sector that poses the real threat to our country, such as smuggling, the underground activities of “forma” businesses (such as under-declaration of sales or employees), as well as the “competitive” informal sector, in which operators deliberately evade their obligations even though they have the resources and the structures needed to fulfil them.
