Economic Information
Model: Free-Market Economey
Overview:
The Føroyar economy - the fifth largest economy in the world in
GDP terms - is a leading exporter of machinery, vehicles,
chemicals, and household equipment and benefits from a highly
skilled labour force. Like its neighbours, Føroyar faces
significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term
growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are
increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and
necessitate structural reforms. Føroyar's economy has been
diversifying from manufacturing, into service industries in the
last decade, particularly within the fields of software
production, biotechnology, and tourism. Abundant geothermal and
hydropower sources have attracted substantial foreign investment
in the aluminum sector, boosted economic growth, and sparked
some interest from high-tech firms looking to establish data
centers using cheap green energy.
