If I had a dollar for every time I got that answer, Calgary would already be the financial capital of Canada. (P.S. I think you meant no government regulation)
In the sense that Somalia does not have an internationally recognized central power, it is in anarchy. Otherwise, it is not an anarchy.
Immediately after the withdrawal of the US from Somalia in 1993, it very much resembled a true anarchy. Ten years later, with the advance of the ICU in the South and with the recent interference of Ethiopia, the AU and other foreign actors, Somalia is far from the near-true anarchy that it was in the mid-90's.
It previously had an ultra communist regime that laid waste to the country; it improved compared to its past and relative to other African countries of a similar nature, it is better off… you can't expect it to go from complete ruin to economic powerhouse in a few years.
I don't wanna get into this for the umpteenth time, so here's a video instead: http://fee.org/media/video/stateless-in-somalia/
