Formalisation and business development in Mozambique

More about the book

Using data from an enterprise survey and expert interviews carried out between February and April 2008, analyses the influence of the regulatory business environment on the formalisation and development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Mozambique - with particular emphasis on the issue of formalisation. Shows that on the one hand the economy is characterized by a large number of MSMEs and widespread informality, and on the other hand business regulations are considered a major burden for the development of the private sector in Mozambique
