The economy of Nauru is tiny, based on a population in 2019 of only 11,550 people.[12] The economy has historically been based on phosphate mining. With primary phosphate reserves exhausted by the end of the 2010s, Nauru has sought to diversify its sources of income. In 2020, Nauru's main sources of income were the sale of fishing rights in Nauru's territorial waters, and revenue from the Regional Processing Centre[13] (an offshore Australian immigration detention facility).
Nauru is dependent on foreign aid, chiefly from Australia, Taiwan and New Zealand.
