2.3 million. The country gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. After independence, Latvia transitioned to a free market economy and became a member of the European Union and NATO. Latvia's economy consists of services, industry and agriculture sectors. The service sector is the country's largest economic sector and accounts for a large portion of GDP. Subsectors such as tourism, finance, telecommunications and trade are important components of the service sector. The industrial sector plays an important role in Latvia's economy. The country is particularly strong in sectors such as food processing, textiles, chemicals, logistics and electronics. Since Latvia is part of the European Union, it also benefits from access to the EU's internal market. The agricultural sector plays a smaller role in Latvia's economy. However, the country has a significant potential in the production of agricultural products such as grain, potatoes, vegetables, dairy products and meat. Agriculture has the potential to create employment, especially in rural areas. Latvia has shown stable economic growth in recent years. A stable economic growth has contributed to increased investments, expanded exports and reduced unemployment rates. However, the country's economy still faces some challenges, especially due to demographic factors such as the migration problem and low birth rates. As a result, Latvia has an overall diversified economy consisting of services, industry and agricultural sectors. Although the country's economy has shown steady growth, it faces some challenges and economic development efforts need to continue.
