A resource-based economy is the economy of a country whose gross national product or gross domestic product to a large extent comes from natural resources.

The term has also been used by Jacque Fresco for his vision of global economy.

Suriname

Suriname's exports of bauxite account for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings.

Russia

Of Russian exports, more than 80% are oil, natural gas, metals and timber. Since Russia has a resource based economy, it depends most of all on the fluctuations of oil and gas demand and prices.

Norway

Norway's export of oil and gas forms 45% of total exports and more than 20% of the GDP.

Australia

Australia developed aspects of a resource-based economy in the later twentieth century, while retaining a foundation in agricultural exports, and latterly minerals.
