The sharp growth in the country's economy after the establishment of the republic in 1978, is known as the Monsilvan Miracle.

Sectors
Agriculture
Although not as major as it once was, the agricultural industry in Monsilva is still extensive, with the country producing around 52% of its food needs. This percentage peaked in the early and mid 1970s, with over 90% of food needs being supplied by Monsilvan products. Just under two-thirds of the value is devoted to arable crops such as rice and wheat. While just over a third is for livestock such as pigs, cows and chicken.
Production industries
Energy
During the revolutionisation of industry throughout the 19th century, coal, oil and natural gas were massive industries that provided the entirety of Monsilva's energy until the 1960s, when nuclear power began to grow significantly. By 1980, nuclear power placed third amongst the sources of energy consumed in Monsilva, causing the Monsilvan coal industry collapse in 1981. During the 1980s, the advocation for renewable and green energy began to grow and soon became a part of politics. In 1991, Monsilva introduced its first renewable energy law, stating it would move Monsilva towards renewable-only energy sources by 2030.
As of 2020, renewable energy accounts for 50% of total energy consumed in Monsilva, an increase of 10% from 2015. This places Monsilva short of their goal of 100% by 2030 if they continue at 10% every 5 years. The majority of this renewable energy is provided by hydroelectric energy, with nuclear energy coming a close second and wind energy coming third. The other 50% of Monsilva's energy consumption is provided by natural gas and oil.

Significant products produced by Monsilva's IT industry includes: Leeting, a messaging app originally designed just for Monsilva but has expanded globally but with most of its popularity being found in central Ostlandet; Shifu Pay, a major financial technology company which operates online payments and money transfers; TKT and PIKA, which are both major Monsilvan-language social media apps.
