Schlüsselindustrien

Wie viele andere Orte sind auch die Ålandinseln vom Handel, der Schifffahrt und dem Tourismus abhängig. Die Schifffahrt macht fast die Hälfte der Wirtschaftstätigkeit aus und mehrere globale Transportunternehmen sind dort tätig. Neben der Schifffahrt gibt es noch andere kleine Unternehmen mit wenigen Angestellten. Weitere wichtige Wirtschaftszweige sind Landwirtschaft und Fischerei. Diese beiden Sektoren sind für die Ernährungssicherheit der Inseln von entscheidender Bedeutung.

Der Dienstleistungssektor ist eine weitere Säule der Ålandinseln. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist, dass ein großer Teil der von Finnland verzeichneten Tourismuseinnahmen von diesen Inseln stammt. Darüber hinaus ist der Tourismus von wesentlicher Bedeutung, da er viele Arbeitsplätze bietet.
