You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((World economy))
The '''economy of North America''' comprises more than 596 million people (8% of the [[world population]]) in its [[List of sovereign states and dependent territories in North America|24 sovereign states and 15 dependent territories]].((UN Population|ref)) It is marked by a sharp division between the predominantly English speaking countries of [[Canada]] and the [[United States]], which are among the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world, and countries of [[Central America]] and the [[Caribbean]] in the former [[Latin America]] that are less developed. [[Mexico]] and Caribbean nations of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] are between the economic extremes of the development of North America.

[[Mexico]] lies in between these two extremes as a [[newly industrialized country]] (NIC), and is a part of the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) and a member of the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] (OECD), being one of the only two Latin American members of this organisation (together with Chile). The United States is by far the largest economy in North America and the largest national economy in the world.

The US, Canada and Mexico have significant and multifaceted economic systems.<ref name="cia-us">[https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/united-states/#economy "United States, Economy.] [https://www.cia.gov U.S. Central Intelligence Agence].

==Economic development==
<!--Note, some of these sections are  just labels for development.  Please don't remove sections just because they're empty-->

===Great Depression===
The [[Great Depression]] began in North America in October 1929.  The start is often dated to the stock market collapse of [[Black Tuesday]] although this was not the cause of the Great Depression.<ref>((cite web|url = http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/oecon/chap3.htm|title = Outline of the U.S. Economy|publisher = U.S. Department of State|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070314003528/http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/oecon/chap3.htm|archive-date = 2007-03-14))</ref>  Canada and the United States experienced especially large declines, with the gross domestic product falling 37% from 1929 to 1933 in the United States, and 43% in Canada over the same period.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/1929_39depression.html |title=The Great Depression (1929-1939): historical context, economic impact and related links |publisher=Government of Canada |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090127051620/http://canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/1929_39depression.html |archive-date=2009-01-27 ))</ref>  The economy reached its lowest point in 1933, however recovery was slow.  The outbreak of [[World War II]] in 1939 created demand for war materials that brought about the end of the depression.

The Great Depression spurred increased government intervention in the economy in North America.  The United States introduced unemployment insurance, a [[minimum wage]] and standardised working hours under the [[New Deal]].<ref>((cite web|url = http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/dolchp03.htm|title = U.S. Department of Labor -- Brief History of DOL - The Department in the New Deal and World War II, 1933-1945|publisher = U.S. Department of Labor|access-date = 12 March 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090511164244/https://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/dolchp03.htm|archive-date = 11 May 2009|url-status = dead))</ref>  Canada introduced similar measures.<ref>((cite web|url = http://www.canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/1941ui.html|title = Unemployment Insurance Act (1941): historical context, economic impact and related links|publisher = Government of Canada|access-date = 12 March 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070222143548/http://www.canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/1941ui.html|archive-date = 22 February 2007|url-status = dead))</ref>  Mexico nationalised some key industries during the Great Depression, with the railroads nationalised by 1937 and the oil industry nationalised in 1938.<ref>((cite journal|jstor = 1887752|title = The Good Neighbor Policy and the Nationalization of Mexican Oil: A Reinterpretation|author = Clayton R Koppes|volume = 69|issue = 1|pages = 62–81|date=June 1982|journal = The Journal of American History|doi = 10.2307/1887752))</ref>

===World War II===
Due to the large scale enlistment of men into armed forces during [[World War II]], women entered the workforce en masse, filling many jobs in manufacturing and technical areas that had previously been closed to women.  This led to the "We can do it!" campaign.<ref>((cite web|url = https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/tupperware/sfeature/sf_women.html|title = American Experience ((!)) Tupperware! ((!))

During the peak of World War II activity, nearly 40 per cent of US GDP was devoted to war production.<ref>((cite book|author=Baten, Jörg |title=A History of the Global Economy. From 1500 to the Present.|date=2016|publisher=Cambridge University Press|page=98|isbn=9781107507180))</ref>

===Cold War===
After the 2nd world war, the United States and Russia emerged as the world superpowers with both economies being strong and thus each country wanted to be recognised as a superpower.The relationship between the two countries further deteriorated with the space race.

===US-Canada Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA - a new era of economic integration===
The [[Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement]] of 1989 and the subsequent expansion to the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) triggered a dramatic increase in trade between these three countries, with Mexican trade with the United States and Canada increasing threefold.<ref>((cite web|url = https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/mx.html|title = CIA - The World Factbook -- Mexico|publisher = Central Intelligence Agency|access-date = 30 May 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090417062301/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/mx.html|archive-date = 17 April 2009|url-status = dead))</ref>  Over 85% of Canadian exports in 2006 went to the United States.<ref>((cite web|url = https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/canada/|title = CIA - The World Factbook -- Canada| date=9 January 2024 |publisher = Central Intelligence Agency))</ref>

==Regional variation==
With various climate zones, agricultural products vary from country to country. Job sectors are also different, with industrialized countries having more service workers, and developing countries relying on agriculture.

==Trade blocs==

===Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation===
The [[Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]] (APEC) is a group of [[Pacific Rim]] countries which meet with the purpose of improving economic and political ties. APEC's stated goals are aimed at free and open trade and investments by cutting tariffs between zero and five percent in the Asia-Pacific area for industrialised economies by 2010 and for developing economies by 2020.

The organisation has members from four continents, those from North America are [[Canada]], [[Mexico]] and the [[United States]].

===Caribbean Community===
The [[Caribbean Community]] (CARICOM) was created ''"To provide dynamic leadership and service, in partnership with Community institutions and Groups, toward the attainment of a viable, internationally competitive and sustainable Community, with improved quality of life for all"''. Its secretariat is based in [[Georgetown, Guyana]], South America.

- On January 1, 2006, six members: ([[Barbados]], [[Belize]], [[Guyana]], [[Jamaica]], [[Suriname]] and [[Trinidad and Tobago]]) unofficially ushered in the [[Caribbean (CARICOM) Single Market and Economy]] (CSME).

- At the official signing of the protocol on January 30, 2006, in Jamaica, A further six members: ([[Antigua and Barbuda]], [[Dominica]], [[Grenada]], [[Saint Kitts and Nevis]], [[Saint Lucia]] and [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]]) announced their intention to join by the second quarter of 2006. [[Montserrat]], a British Oversees territory is awaiting approval by the [[United Kingdom]]. [[Haiti]] and [[the Bahamas]] have no immediate plans to join.

===Central American Free Trade Agreement===
The [[Central American Free Trade Agreement]] (CAFTA) is an agreement between the [[United States]] and the Central American countries of [[Costa Rica]], [[Guatemala]], [[El Salvador]], [[Honduras]], and [[Nicaragua]]. The treaty is aimed at promoting [[free trade]] between its members. [[Canada]] and [[Mexico]] are negotiating membership.

===North American Free Trade Agreement===
The [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) is an agreement between Canada, Mexico and the United States to eliminate tariffs on goods traded between themselves.

Although currently only a trade agreement, with no supranational bodies or laws as in the [[European Union]], there have been various proposals to move towards a [[customs union]] or a [[North American currency union]]. It is unknown whether this may eventually develop into a [[North American Union]] similar to that of [[Europe]].

==Currency==

Below is a '''list of the currencies of North America''', with exchange rates between each currency and both the ''euro'' and ''US dollars'' <sup>as of 20 July 2022</sup>. This list may vary as it is not current.

In western Canada, in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, wheat and other various main agricultural products are grown. The U.S. also has many states with significant agriculture production, mainly in the central continental U.S. Mexico produces many tropical fruits and vegetables as well as edible animals.

===Manufacturing===
North America has developed and its [[manufacturing]] sector has grown. In the beginning the European nations were the large manufacturing powers. At the start of the 1950s, the United States was a top manufacturing power, with Canada and Mexico also making significant progress.

===Service===
In Canada, the US and the Caribbean, service-based employment is a significant percentage of overall employment. Many people work in stores and other retail locations. In Canada more than 70% work in the services sector, with a similar percentage in the United States.

===Investment and banking===
The United States leads North America in [[investment]] and [[bank]]ing. Canada, Mexico and most recently, February 2011,  El Salvador is growing in this sector.  And smaller economic powers such as Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama are also growing slowly in this sector.

===Tourism===
[[Tourism]] is extremely important for the Caribbean economies, as they contain many beaches and have warm climates. Skiing in Canada and the US is also important. Tourism of [[national parks]] and natural landmarks, such as [[Mount Rushmore]] and the [[Grand Canyon]] in the United States, and [[Niagara Falls]] and [[Moraine lake]] in Canada, contribute to the economy in these regions.
