| Ekonomia | Coal mining is the major economic activity on Svalbard. The treaty of 9 luty 1920 gave the 41 signatories equal rights to exploit mineral deposits, subject to Norwegian regulation. Although US, UK, Dutch, and Swedish coal companies have mined w the past, the only companies still mining are Norwegian and Rosjan. The settlements on Svalbard are essentially company towns. The Norwegian state-owned coal company employs nearly 60% of the Norwegian population on the island, runs many of the local services, and provides most of the local infrastructure. There is also some hunting of seal, reindeer, and fox. | Coal mining is the major economic activity on Svalbard.
