Summary

San Marino has shifted to a new growth model during the last decade. As the once oversized banking sector embarked on a painful deleveraging process following the Great Financial Crisis, manufacturing and nonfinancial service exporting sectors grew, underpinned by cost-competitiveness in labor and strong balance sheets. Prudent fiscal policy and access to international capital markets helped weather the pandemic and energy crises. However, San Marino is a small state subject to very high volatility and the financial sector remains vulnerable, suggesting that larger-than-usual fiscal buffers are needed.
