Counterfeit Russian rubles have surfaced in Rason's jangmadang markets — so skillfully faked that traders couldn't tell them apart from real notes. North Korea's State Information Bureau deployed an inspection team May 12.

#NorthKorea rice prices hit 32,600 won/kg in Sinuiju on May 10 — a 3.5x surge from a year ago. On May 12, the Cabinet issued an emergency price cap. It's backfiring badly.

Fuel costs from Middle East turmoil have nearly doubled transport fares in North Korea. Traders in Sinuiju are ditching beollyi-cha freight vehicles for modified e-bikes — cheaper to run, easier to profit from. https://www.dailynk.com/english/north-korea-electric-bike-modification-fuel-costs/

Sell one factory item on the side in North Korea — face expulsion, dismissal, and criminal prosecution. Songchon county has issued a zero-tolerance order against diverting state goods to the jangmadang.

A single vial of penicillin costs 160,000 NK won in Hyesan's jangmadang. A packet of paracetamol runs 130,000. For most North Koreans, getting sick means suffering through it alone.

It's being dismantled. #NorthKorea #DPRK #Jangmadang #Economy https://www.dailynk.com/english/north-korea-intensifies-jangmadang-crackdown-seizing-household-goods-for-state-stores/
