The economic system of the Oan Isles takes place in the framework of a mixed economy. While the government intervenes in the economy through high tax rates, a wide social safety net and private sector regulation, private property is respect and the factors of production are controlled through free market forces. Total economic output stands at a nominal GDP of 480 billion KRB (600 billion KRB in PPP terms). With a nominal GDP per capita of 40,000 KRB (PPP GDP per capita of 50,000 KRB), the Oan Isles is considered a post-industrial highly developed upper income economy. After the annexation of the Kohatu Isles and the discovery of fossil fuels, the Oan economy has grown at an average rate of 6% annually, among the highest in the region. As a member of the Kirib Monetary Union, the [[kirib]] is the legal tender and the [[Auroran Central Bank]] controls monetary policy. However, the [[Bank of the Oan Isles]] remains the central bank.

Total economic output stands at a nominal GDP of 788,768,750,000 [[Kirib|KRB]]. With a nominal GDP per capita of 42,350 KRB, the Oan Isles is considered a post-industrial highly developed upper income economy. After the annexation of the Kohatu Isles and the discovery of fossil fuels, the Oan economy has grown at an average rate of 6% annually, among the highest in the region.

However, the [[Bank of the Oan Isles]] remains the central bank.


The economy maintains a substantial annual balance of payments account of 5 billion KRB. Prior to the discovery of fossil fuels, the debt to GDP ratio was high, but has now declined. With stable accounts and prudent financial management, the economy is a net lender and major exporter of goods and services. The country's biggest exports are fossil fuels, lumber, fish, high value-added manufactured goods like military hardware, optic fibres and semi-conductors. With only a quarter of the land being arable, the country is a net importer of food and its major imports include raw materials and motor vehicles. As an export driven market, its largest trade partners are in [[Aurora]] and to a lesser extent [[Novaris]] and Concord. As a developed economy, the service sector makes up a substantial share of economic output, with financial services, information technology services, tourism and transshipment being the largest components.
