      Economy Gibraltar

      Economy - overview:

       Gibraltar benefits from an extensive shipping trade, offshore

       banking, and its position as an international conference center. The

       British military presence has been sharply reduced and now

       contributes about 7% to the local economy, compared with 60% in

       1984. The financial sector, tourism (almost 5 million visitors in

       1998), shipping services fees, and duties on consumer goods also

       generate revenue. The financial sector, the shipping sector, and

       tourism each contribute 25%-30% of GDP. Telecommunications accounts

       for another 10%. In recent years, Gibraltar has seen major

       structural change from a public to a private sector economy, but

       changes in government spending still have a major impact on the

       level of employment.
