You cannot invent your own facts.You cannot force say for example that the sky is green.

How do you measure or estimate an informal economy? it's like calculating GDP of the underworld.You don't do it.You formalize the economy.You turn the small business into SME then into Medium Enterprise then into real Enterprise then into multinational.What is the point of claiming you measure something unmeasurable like informal sector.Kenya and every country has such sector..US doesn't go measuring it's drug sector.You don't do it.There are no credible data .They don't pay taxes They don't exist.Except outside the law.Any data will be a wield guestimate.

Why are Ghanian escaping Ghana like Nigerians? You only see such desperation in war torn countries. Examine their data closely.

I think Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret,Thika looks better than your cities. And we don't have minerals or that much arable land.

psychologygh:
we measure the 30% that we can formally calculate which lies in 70-80 billion dollars GDP,that's how our GDP keeps rebasing cos we are still widening our tax net and formal businesses for statistical and financial measurement purpose.

That's why we our purchasing power which can easily be measured hoovers more than 200 billion dollars buh our GDP norminal lingers around 70-80 billion dollars. Ghana had a GDP size of 47 billion dollars in 2012 which was more than the GDP of Kenya buh from nowhere, 2 years later just like magic,Kenya's GDP more than doubled due to this same rebasing.You claimed you had now captured some informal sectors and so no one can dispute your figures since we don't run your country for you. If you're in a fire burning and you tell people around you that you're okay, we can't force you because you feel what you feel alone.

Ghana can get up tomorrow and say out GDP is now 100 billion dollars and no one can dispute because the economic indicators used 5 years ago is different from now that's why most economies rebase almost every ten years.Nigeria got up one day and told us their GDP is no more 180 billion dollars buh it's now over 500 billion dollars in less than a year and we gave them largest economy in Africa.

You don't dispute any country's stats even if he's a dictator. Ghana invest billions of dollars in human development even more than business and infrastructure and that's our goal.Our aims is to make every citizen as comfortable as ever.And our small scale enterprises is the best and among the largest in West Africa thus millions of Nigerian traders venturing into our retail space upon all the attacks on their businesses in Ghana to leave.Our issue is too much taxes.

Kenyans and Ghanaian I have been very sorry I have not been there for you this week I have been very busy with harvesting crops. All so I have been battling with my Nigerian Brothers on more than 3 Trends on this nairaland forum I have dealt a big blow to my Nigerian brother

Informal sector is basically under radar..you cannot see it if you stick to emperical data collection.What you try to do is to formalize them..force them to register, have business license, have bank account, bank their money and pay some taxes or levies...but if I go to a slum..and throw a wild guestimate..how will that help.You get into fake 500b Nigeria problem with taxes of 5b if you remove oil .You can as well add Yahoo, marijuana, cocaine to your GDP.

anyway, growing marijuana is not legal in Ghana
If it were, it would be a multi-billion dollars sector in Ghana because Ghana wee is the best in the world.

have a few Ghanaian citizens who came from the UK last 4 years just to come and lobby government to make it legal.
They have acquire huge farmlands the size of Nairobi and just waiting

psychologygh:
hahaha,very funny,you speak soo easily as if you just get up and register informal businesses. Tell me,how many Kenyans register their businesses and pay the regular taxes.What special incentive and formal process is provided by the Kenyan government that Ghana cannot provide.In fact,what's the literacy rate in Kenya.Let me begin from there.Do you know that more than 50%sole proprietorship businesses even in Nairobi is not registered or captured formally captured.That Mpesa mobile money even breeds informal sectors and makes their businesses more easy without registering formally at banks.Not even South Africa can boast of 50% formalized economy. This is Africa.

rvp20182:
Tell you country mate just30 who thought Kenya has no informal sector.We should attempt to formalize them..for their own good mostly..and Mobile Money is helping .We cannot take guesswork to the mathematics of calculating GDP.
