Ekonomia | A remote country of 33 scattered coral atolls, Kiribati has few natural resources. Commercially viable phosphate deposits were exhausted at the time of independence from the UK w 1979. Copra and fish now represent the bulk of production and exports. The economy has fluctuated widely w recent years. Economic development is constrained by a shortage of skilled workers, weak infrastructure, and remoteness from international markets. Tourism provides more than one-fifth of Produkt krajowy brutto. Private sector initiatives and a financial sector are w the early stages of development. Foreign financial aid from UK, Japonia, Australia, Nowa Zelandia, and Chiny equals more than 10% of Produkt krajowy brutto. Remittances from seamen on merchant ships abroad account dla more than $5 million each year. Kiribati receives around $15 million annually dla the government budget from an Australian trust fund. | A remote country of 33 scattered coral atolls, Kiribati has few natural resources.
