You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''economy of Oceania''' comprises more than 14 separate countries and their associated economies.

On a total scale, [[Oceania]] has approximately 34,700,201<ref name="stats"/> inhabitants who are spread among 30,000 islands ((Citation needed|date=July 2009)) in the [[Oceania|South Pacific]] bordered between [[Asia]] and the [[Americas]]. This region has a diverse mix of economies from the highly developed and globally competitive financial markets of [[Australia]] and New Zealand to the much less developed economies that belong to many of its island neighbours.

==Trade blocs==
The smallest [[Pacific]] nations rely on trade with Australia, New Zealand and the United States for exporting goods and for accessing other products.

Australia and New Zealand's trading arrangements are known as [[Closer Economic Relations]]. Australia and New Zealand, along with other countries, are members of [[Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]] (APEC) and the [[East Asia Summit]] (EAS), which may become trade blocs in the future particularly EAS.

==Economic sectors==

===Service industry===
The overwhelming majority of people living in the Pacific islands work in the service industry which includes tourism, education and financial services.  Oceania's largest export markets include Japan, China, the United States and South Korea.  The majority of people living in Australia, and to a lesser extent, New Zealand work in mining, electrical and manufacturing sectors also.

===Manufacturing===
The manufacturing of clothing is a major industry in some parts of the Pacific, especially [[Economy of Fiji#Tourism|Fiji]], although this is generally decreasing.

Australia boasts the largest amount of manufacturing in the region, producing cars, electrical equipment, machinery and clothes.

===Tourism===
Tourism has become a large source of income for many in the Pacific; tourists come from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. [[Economy of Fiji#Tourism|Fiji]] currently draws almost half a million tourists each year; more than a quarter from Australia. This contributes $1 billion or more since 1995 to Fiji's economy but the government of Fiji underestimate these figures due in part to an invisible economy inside the tourism industry.

===Agriculture and fishing===
Agriculture and natural resources constitutes only 5% to 10% of Oceania's total jobs, but contributes substantially to export performance. The most populous two nations, Australia and New Zealand, are also the most developed and have majority service industries. This dilutes the data from the less developed Pacific Island nations who have major agricultural economies. Most of the Pacific countries (excluding Australia and New Zealand) the primary industry is agriculture. Many nations are still quintessentially agricultural; for example, 80% of the population of [[Vanuatu]] and 70% of the population of [[Fiji]] works in [[agriculture]]. The main produce from the pacific is [[copra]] or [[coconut]], but [[timber]], [[beef]], [[palm oil]], [[Cocoa bean|cocoa]], [[sugar]] and [[ginger]] are also commonly grown across the [[tropics]] of the [[Pacific]]. [[Fishing]] provides a major [[Industry (economics)|industry]] for many of the smaller nations in the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]], although many [[fishing]] areas are exploited by other larger countries, namely Japan. [[Natural Resources]], such as [[lead]], [[zinc]], [[nickel]] and [[gold]], are mined in Australia and the [[Solomon Islands]]. Oceania's largest export markets include Japan, China, the United States, India, South Korea and the [[European Union]].

===International aid and charity===

====Oceanian donor nations====
Oceania's most populous nations, Australia and New Zealand, are both highly developed nations and are large international aid donors. These two wealthy nations share the region with less developed nations which still rely on [[foreign aid]] for [[development aid|development]]. In the 2007/08 financial year Australia provided $3.155 billion worth of official development assistance, of which $2.731 billion will be managed by AusAID. Every week, each Australian puts in around $2.40 to pay for Australia's aid program, amounting to around 1% of the Australian Federal Government expenditure compared to the 42% spent on social security and welfare.

====Oceanian recipient states====
In the [[Solomon Islands]] 50% of government spending is paid for by international donors; namely Australia, New Zealand, the [[European Union]], Japan and the [[Republic of China]] ([[Taiwan]]).

==Global trade relations==
This region consists of many trading relations because of the small amount of land and limited resources they have. Many have trading economies and are transitioning to a developed economy and infrastructure.
