Above is an image of a North Korean economic center. Most of the things being done are probably government controlled and decided on.

 

North Korea is the most economically suppressed countries in the world. North Korea is one the few countries in the world that still remains a communist country. They have a 2% mixed economy more command than market. The only reason they have the 2% market economy is because of black market entrepreneurship and trade within the black market. The people of North Korea have no economic freedom whatsoever. The government decides what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. There are no entrepreneurs in North Korea as well. The GDP of North Korea is $28.2 billion that’s not a lot compared to China’s GDP which is $8.8 trillion. There major industries are military products, mining such as (coal, iron ore, limestone, magnesite, graphite, copper, zinc, lead, and precious metals,) metallurgy, textiles, food processing, and tourism. Major exports would be minerals, metallurgical products (products used to extract metals from ores), manufacturing (including armaments), textiles, agricultural and fishery products, coal, iron ore, limestone, graphite, copper, zinc, lead, and textiles. Agriculture and fishery count for 21% of their GDP. The economy is very dependent on foreign aid, such as food aid from the United States to escape starvation from famine since 1995.
