• The economy of a country whose gross national product to a large extent comes from natural resources, such as Russia, and Norway.

Australian resourced based economy

Australia's trade structure hinges on a natural resource economy. With increasing volumes of resource production, higher volumes of natural resource exploitation and attendant environmental degradation. Debt pressures and a struggling trade sector based on primary sector exports undergoing extensive terms of trade deterioration could lead to economic decline and degradation of natural capital stocks. These factors may derail attainment of sustainable development in Australia.
