Zimbabwe's informal sector's contribution to the country's Gross Domestic Product is expected to increase in the outlook period, according to estimates by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStats).
Speaking at a "Dissemination of the compendium of statistical concepts and definitions" workshop last Friday, Zimstats director-general Mutasa Dzinotizei said the 2014 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to be $13 billion with the informal sector contributing up to 20 percent of that figure.
Dzinotizei said it should be a priority for government to devise ways to strategically increase employment in the formal sector because the situation shows a flaw that needs to be amended.
