Daobac embraces a free market economic system with minimum government intervention. Its total economy is valued at $351 billion, has the 12th highest GDP per capita in the world and is considered as a developed country with a high-income economy. The Daoan economy is generally regarded as free and business friendly due to its minimum trade barriers and tariffs. Its workforce pool is known to be stable and diverse, possessing both highly educated and skilled workers. The country is also known for its harsh policies towards corruption, low tax rates as well as its well maintained and advanced infrastructure. Due to these factors the country attracts large amounts of foreign investment. The country's wealth is well distributed between investing for more economic growth and provide public services to the population. The Bank of Daobac is the nation's central bank and manages Daobac's currency (Vang) and establishes its monetary policies. Daobac is a founding member of the Equatorial Trade Forum (FOAREKO), a major trade bloc of the Ozerosi ocean and many Daoan companies are a member of the Vespanian Exchange Institute.
Daobac's economic sector is largely driven by the services sector and is well known for its expertise in the fields of engineering, financial and commercial launch services. The country is a pioneer in the field of environmental engineering, pioneering various breakthroughs in the development of what is categorized of green technologies to mitigate the effects of pollution from industrial and urban activities. Its primary focus is within the fields of wastewater treatment and air pollution control technologies. Daobac's aerospace engineering industry designs and manufactures both fighters and various launch vehicles built in collaboration with various partner countries. The bulk of Daobac's financial institutions are comprised of investment and venture capital firms. The former largely invests in companies that specializes in the fields of environmental, chemical and aerospace engineerings whereas the latter provides seed funding to startup technology companies both domestic and abroad.
Though the government maintains a policy of little to no state intervention in the economy, it still plays an important role in the cultivation of various businesses throughout the country. Hoasen Holdings, a sovereign wealth fund, is a state-owned investment fund that holds both majority and minority stakes in various companies ranging from large publicly listed corporations to small and medium-sized enterprises. Daobac's economy largely revolves around four conglomerates: Tran Industries, Mach Group, Khuat Corp and Bao Enterprises. With a presence in almost every facet of the country, both in public & private, these four groups collectively control up to 73% of Daobac's economy and at times has been described as megacorporations. The export-led growth of Daobac's economy meant that the country is heavily dependent on the import of (preferably cheap) raw materials and then refining them to become a higher quality good to be exported abroad. Tsurushima is currently Daobac's largest import & export partner, although in the modern era the nation of Anachak Kang is expected to overtake Tsurushima in becoming Daobac's largest source of imports and exports within five and twenty years respectively.

To supplement this the Daoan government has cultivated its population to become both a highly educated and skilled workforce, making them a source of reliable workforce for both domestic and foreign companies. This was achieved through decades of investment as well as major overhauls in the nation's public education institutes. In order to promote a free market in its immediate neighbohood Daobac has successfuly lobbied for the establishment of the Equatorial Trade Forum (FOAREKO), a trade bloc whose key component include the establishemtn of a free trade area (FTA) amongst its members. The FOAREKO has also established FTA's with numerous other nations that it has designated as dialogue partners namely: Onekawa-Nukanoa, Gristol-Serkonos and Tsurushima. Daoan imports are dominated by both raw materials such as oil, gas, wood, foodstuffs and rare earth minerals as well as capital goods such as alloys and metals. Exports are dominated by various environmental, aerospace and chemical engineering technologies/services, fish & tea products, launch vehicles and military vehicles.
