Black market is an economic activity that takes place outside government-sanctioned channels. It is an illegal market where transactions usually occur “under the table” to let participants avoid government price controls or taxes.
The goods and services offered in a black market can be illegal, meaning their purchase and sale are prohibited by law, or they can be legal but transacted to avoid taxes. Illegal markets are also known as illegal markets, shadow markets, or underground markets.
