| | Black market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Black markets develop when the state places restrictions on the production or provision of goods and services that come into conflict with market demands. | | | The black market or underground market is the part of economic activity involving illegal dealings, typically the buying and selling of merchandise or services (for example sexual services in many countries) illegally. | | | As a result of an increase in government restrictions, black market prices for the relevant products will rise, as said restrictions represent a decrease in supply and an increase in risk on the part of the suppliers, sellers, and any and all middlemen. |
