According to cheeroutdoor.com, the economy of San Marino is characterized by a high level of interdependence with the Italian economy, it is based mainly on tourism and related services, on banking, on industrial production (building materials, textiles, woodworking and furniture industry, electronics), on handicraft production (leather and ceramic products, wood, metal, stone processing) and food industry (wine production). Production in the field of philately and numismatics is also significant. Building stone is available to the country from natural mineral resources. About 61% of services and 39% of industry contribute to the creation of GDP. San Marino is a rich state, the standard of living of the population corresponds to the standards of the most developed regions of Italy. As part of economic policy, it focuses on the development of tourism and the support of modern industries and services. San Marino has a customs and monetary union with Italy and through it with the EU. Economic development, especially in 2021, was almost paralyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore the San Marino government seeks foreign investment and promotes an effective restart of economic cooperation (especially with the surrounding Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna and Marche).
