Of the 55 economy KPIs, the Republic of San Marino reported data for 40 indicators. The evaluation against these indicators revealed strong performance in the sub-areas of employment, water and sanitation and waste management; moderate performance in ICT infrastructure, electricity supply and drainage; and low performance in transport and public sector procurement.

Given the lack of data, the results of the evaluation are considered through the prism of strategic urban development and the associated imperative of gaining an understanding of the main areas that should form the focus of urban development policies and initiatives. Below is the summary of the results.
