Session 1. Informal economy in Latin America and the Caribbean |
||||||||||
|
Scope There is no uniform definition of the informal sector in economic literature. Research findings indicate that economic development alone does not lead to a reduction of the informal economy. Although competition authorities may contribute to the formalisation of firms operating in the informal economy through advocacy initiatives, a more direct concern is how to deal with informal firms in competition law enforcement actions and cases. This session tried to identify and discusses the impact on competition in the formal economy, as well as how competition authorities can contribute in solving informality issues and tools that are effective.
