A resource-based economy or natural-resource-based economy is the economy of a country whose gross national product or gross domestic product to a large extent comes from natural resources.[1]

Suriname

Suriname's exports of bauxite account for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings.[2]

Russia

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

Norway's export of oil and gas forms 45% of total exports and more than 20% of the GDP.[5]

Australia

Australia developed aspects of a resource-based economy in the later twentieth century, while retaining a foundation in agricultural exports, and latterly minerals.[6][7]
