Economy whose gross national product or gross domestic product comes mainly from natural resources
A resource-based or natural-resource-based economy is that of a country whose
gross national product or
gross domestic product to a large extent comes from
natural resources .
[1]
Examples
The economies of
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries like
Saudi Arabia ,
Kuwait and
Qatar are highly dependent on exporting oil and gas.
Suriname 's exports of
bauxite account for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings.
[2]
Of
Russian exports , more than 80% are oil, natural gas, metals and timber.
[3] Since Russia has a resource-based economy, it depends most of all on the fluctuations of oil and gas demand and prices.
[4]
Norway 's export of oil and gas forms 45% of total exports and more than 20% of the GDP.
