		The service sector, mainly tourism and financial services, dominates the economy; erratic growth rates over the past decade reflect the economy's reliance on tourism, which often fluctuates with political instability in the region and economic conditions in Western Europe.
		The Turkish Cypriot economy has roughly one-third of the per capita GDP of the south, and economic growth tends to be volatile, given north Cyprus's relative isolation, bloated public sector, reliance on the Turkish lira, and small market size.
		The Turkish Cypriot economy grew 2.6% in 2004, fueled by growth in the construction and education sectors as well as increased employment of Turkish Cypriots in the Republic of Cyprus.

		Following the 1974 division of the island, Turkish Cypriots adopted the Turkish Lira (TL) but the Cyprus pound remained legal tender until May, 1983.

		The Cyprus pound is now considered to be a foreign currency and is subject to foreign exchange regulations, but is used as a parallel-market trading currency together with British pound and US dollar.
