In this way, it was determined which is the economic impact on formal merchants, as they feel harmed due to a lack of a permanent control by the municipal authorities of the canton. The present study has an investigative type, directed to formal and informal market of the Bolívar Chiriboga market, dedicated to the commercialization of a great variety of products. To collect the information, an interview was applied to the market administrator and formal and informal merchants. The topic to be discussed is of great importance in the country's economy as informal trade is an economic activity that contributes to the country's economic growth and development, although it is not legally established. However, the income obtained is destined to pay basic needs. For this reason, it was proposed to create strategies through the management model applied to informality so that informal merchants can integrate into the formal economy and thus eradicate unfair competition and avoid conflicts between formal and informal merchants and thus promote a fair trade in this market. It is concluded that informal merchants do affect sales of formal merchants, but they also present other types of inconveniences, which is why it is recommended that the Municipal GAD applies the strategic program
