CHF 1 (billions) Liechtenstein CHF Switzerland CHF Austria EURO Germany EURO Foreign currencies converted at yearly average rates (1 Euro = CHF) A distinctive feature of the Liechtenstein GDP is that it derives to a considerable extent from the work done by working personnel domiciled abroad. In 2001, 45% ( persons) of people at work in Liechtenstein were cross-border commuters from abroad. For this reason it is not significant to calculate per capita GDP based on population numbers in Liechtenstein. GDP per inhabitant would yield misleading results in comparison with other countries.

30 Industry and skilled trades Liechtenstein has a broadly diversified economic structure with a significant emphasis on industrial production. In comparison with other national economies, Liechtenstein is more strongly industrial and less service-oriented than generally assumed. Despite the small size of the country, the Liechtenstein national economy covers 15 of the 16 economic segments in the international classification, more than most small european states. The most important branches of the heavily export-oriented industrial sector are mechanical engineering, plant construction, manufacturing of precision instruments, dental technology, and the food-processing industry. In all of these areas, the emphasis is less on the production of mass and inexpensive goods, but rather on the development of high quality, high-tech products. Many industrial firms are active in very specialized market niches. Through intense research and development work, domestic companies have achieved the status of global market leaders in their areas. 30 Liechtenstein in Figures 2005

31 In addition to a number of large companies, the many small and medium-size businesses make up the backbone of Liechtensteins industry. The average business in Liechtenstein has less than 10 employees, but these employees distinguish themselves by high qualifications and productivity.
