DRC: The government advances a new step in formalizing the informal economy

The Ministry of National Economy in the DRC has unanimously approved three strategic documents aimed at formalizing the informal economy during a workshop in Kinshasa, under the Prime Minister's coordination. With nearly 80% of the economy being informal, this reform seeks to gradually integrate actors into the formal sector to boost growth, create decent jobs, and expand the tax base. Deputy Prime Minister Daniel Mukoko Samba aims to turn this economy into a driver of structural development.
