Answer
Informal trade boosts the economy by providing employment opportunities and stimulating local markets. It helps fill gaps in the formal economy where goods and services are needed. By increasing access to essential products, it can reduce poverty levels. Supporting informal traders through education and access to resources can further enhance their contributions, making them a vital part of the economy.
