Abstract: Abstract: The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of the non-observed economy "NOE" in the Moroccan socio-political context. Our constructivist approach based on the inductive approach, allowed us to describe and analyze the characteristics of the compound NOE; mainly the informal economy, the shadow economy, the criminal economy and the domestic economy. Its contribution to national wealth far exceeds 40% of GDP, with employment participation exceeding 67% of total employment. The study also shows that the growth of non-formal activities is the legitimate result of the politico-institutional conditions that frame the country's mode of governance, as well as the structure of the local political economy. Keywords : informal economy, underground economy, Criminal economy, Domestic economy, Moroccan political economy.
