The official currency of Ceuta is the [[euro]]. It is part of a special low tax zone in Spain.<ref name="Ceuta.es">{{cite web |url=http://www.ceuta.es/servlet/ContentServer?idioma=es_es&mD=true&pagename=CeutaTur%2FInformacionViajero%2FInformacionViajeroDetalle&cid=1113994915129&mC=true&idP=1111055969345&idA=1113994915129 |title=Economic Data of Ceuta, de ceutna digital |publisher=Ceuta.es |access-date=17 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100410134201/http://www.ceuta.es/servlet/ContentServer?idioma=es_es&mD=true&pagename=CeutaTur%2FInformacionViajero%2FInformacionViajeroDetalle&cid=1113994915129&mC=true&idP=1111055969345&idA=1113994915129 |archive-date=10 April 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Ceuta is one of two Spanish port cities on the northern shore of Africa, along with [[Melilla]]. They are historically military strongholds, [[free port]]s, oil ports, and also fishing ports.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xuBgaSzsYVgC&q=ceuta+economy |pages=6–7 |title=IBRU, Boundary and Territory Briefing.

[[Lidl]], [[Decathlon (retailer)|Decathlon]] and [[El Corte Inglés]] have branches in Ceuta. There is also a [[casino]].
Border trade between Ceuta and Morocco is active because of advantage of tax-free status. Thousands of Moroccan women are involved in the cross-border porter trade daily, as [[porteadoras]]. The [[Moroccan dirham]] is used in such trade, even though prices are marked in euros.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thelocal.es/20171006/morocco-mule-women-in-back-breaking-trade-from-spain-enclave|title=Morocco 'mule women' in back-breaking trade from Spain enclave|date=6 October 2017|access-date=11 May 2018|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.worldfinance.com/markets/separate-from-the-rest|title=The economics of exclaves|date=24 April 2018|access-date=11 May 2018|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dw.com/en/moroccan-women-used-as-mules-to-avoid-tariffs/av-43736166|title=Moroccan women used as 'mules' to avoid tariffs {{!}} DW {{!}} 11 May 2018|last=(www.dw.com)|first=Deutsche Welle|website=DW.COM|language=en|access-date=11 May 2018}}</ref>

===Transport===
The city's [[Port of Ceuta]] is connected to the [[Port of Algeciras]] across the Strait of Gibraltar by multiple daily sailings of ferries.

A single road border checkpoint to the south of Ceuta near Fnideq allows for cars and pedestrians to travel between Morocco and Spain. An additional border crossing for pedestrians exists between Benzú and [[Belyounech]] on the northern coast. The rest of the border is closed and inaccessible.

There is a bus service throughout the city, and while it does not pass into neighbouring Morocco, it services both frontier crossings.
