Jangmadang (lit. 'market grounds'; Korean: 장마당; Hanja: 場마당; IPA: [t͡ɕa̠ŋma̠da̠ŋ]) are North Korean local markets, farmers' markets, black markets and bazaars. Since the North Korean famine in the 1990s, they have formed a large informal economy, and the government has become more lenient towards them.
