Kelekona is a nation rich in many natural resources, similar to other nations around the Malentine Basin. It has significant reserves of cobalt, lithium, iron ore, and tungsten, as well as some forests and a limited fossil fuel market. Since the sectarian and civil conflict that occurred through the late 2010s and early 2020s, the economy has been centred around resource and mineral extraction, although other growth industries such as a burgeoning technology sector and an Arcer-funded telecommunications industry have begun to grow. | |||
The Kelekonan economy of today is in relative shambles due to the consistent cycle of violence that has persisted throughout the 1980s until today. Agriculture and private land ownership is common but with high unemployment rates and poor access to water rights due to being only partially in control of its major rivers and waterways due to their origin in Varshan. Economic growth has begun to increase with the stabilizing force of Capetian, and later Arcer peacekeeping forces allowing for a slow 13% GDP growth in in the past few years. | |||
The Royal Bank of Arcerion in 2027 approved a loan of £1.6 billion as well as an additional line of credit that was undisclosed for infrastructure upgrades, energy sector improvements, and rail modernization to help better integrate Kelekona into the Malentine Basin's growing combined and interconnected economic framework. | |||
Kelekona's biggest trade partner is Varshan, closely followed by Arcerion. Varshan is the primary cultural influence for trade due to common indigenous heritage, however Arcerion imports a large amount of Kelekonan resources for its manufacturing sector, although Arcer energy, foodstuffs (mainly agricultural products), farming and agricultural machinery, and other goods are one of the major import sectors of the Kelekonan economy. Arcer imports year over year from Kelekona have fluctuated due to the conflicts between the two nations, however since the lack of formal hostilities since the 2007 Telekonese Conflict, imports to Arcerion from Kelekona have grown to account for roughly 45% of all Kelekonese exports. Arcer oil and gas remain the two primary sources of crude oil and non-renewable energy in Kelekona. | |||
