The Sub-Saharan Africa's Unrecorded International Trade. Somme Methodological and Conceptual Problems. - Africa's informal economies have grown so extensive that it is no longer possible to regard them as marginal to formal economies nor only as factors of local importance. Moreover the label "informai" itself is only one of several adjectives on offer, ail of them to some extent inexact, to describe movements of goods and services which are not officially recorded, and which in some cases are illegal. The inter-continental reach of these "informal" economies deserves further study. This poses considerable technical problems which are examined here. Much can be gleaned from available statistics even on semi-clandestine or totally clandestine trades, such as in ivory or narcotics. It is also possible, particularly using anthropological techniques, to study small groups of petty traders living overseas
