Senegal: The Economic Reforms and the Influence of the Informal Sector on the Economic Reform Process.

摘要

This thesis examines how the informal sector has reacted to the economic reforms. Therefore, policies are proposed in this thesis to promote the informal sector. Facing difficulties, such as increased customs taxes, lack of money to finance banking guarantees or collaterals, the informal sector has relied on Tontines', MGA', and Money Transfer Systems' to finance its activities. Aware of the difficulties that the enterprises faced in the economy, the government has undertaken many economic measures, such as decreasing taxes, and deregulating the economy in order to eliminate fraud, corruption and to promote businesses. Also, this thesis examines indirectly how the Senegalese economic reforms influence the Senegalese military and offers some recommendations to improve the military.
