Since 1995, the Ministry of Commerce has had much control over the Economy since it has the authority to set sanctions to Companies that fail to meet standards set by the Ministry.
Much of the Private Sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry. This can traced back to the 1800s when the majority of the workforce were working the mines. The Arms Manufacturing Industry has grown in the last couple of years.
