The economy of Sanama is dominated by government enterprises, private cooperatives and small private corporations. Usually, the profits that are not reinvested in the enterprise are transferred to the Federal Basic Income Fund. The economy is dominated by the oil industry, maritime industry, automobile production, weapons production and electronics.
Sanama adopted the Natopian natopo shortly after independence due to the collapse of the Shirerithian Erb. This helped stabilise the economy during the early years. However, since Sanama cannot conduct its own monetary policy, the federal government began planning to adopt a new national currency. In 1680 the Natopian natopo was replaced by the Sanaman rilha as the official currency of Sanama.
