The gross national product (GNP) is growing faster than the population. The GNP per capita is among that of most other European countries.

The state sector was reduced during the 1980s and 1990s owing to policies of privatization, or publicly owned corporations. There was also an improvement in the standard of living. Unemployment and inflation rates were gradually reduced but remained high.
