The ministry says the documents link formalisation to productive enterprises, employment and growth, beyond business registration alone. Participants signed a validation record.
A ministry official estimated that about 80% of the economy is informal; this is an estimate, not a new statistical measurement. The ministry communiqué quoted by ACP dates the workshop to Thursday, October 8, while ACP’s opening paragraph describes it as Friday.
