| Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | important financial support from the US, more than $40 million w 1994 |
| Ekonomia | This is a traditional Polynesian economy w which more than 90% of the land is communally owned. Economic activity is strongly linked to the US, z which Samoa Amerykanskie conducts the great bulk of its foreign trade. Tuna fishing and tuna processing plants are the backbone of the private sector, z canned tuna the primary export. Transfers from the US Government add substantially to Samoa Amerykanskie's economic well-being. Attempts by the government to develop a larger and broader economy are restrained by Samoa's remote location, its limited transportation, and its devastating hurricanes. Tourism, a developing sector, has been held back by the recurring financial difficulties w East Asia. |
