Tusind tak for jeres stølte. Abstract The main objective of this thesis is an empirical investigation into obstacles to economic development in Greenland. A central theme is the degree of trade, financial, and technological dependency, and its consequences for economic growth and instability in Greenland's post-colonial history. Economehic models are specified to test hypotheses about the association between economic dependency and growth and instability. The econometric results suggest first, that primary exports have been able to produce trickle-down effects that have been a contributing factor in the economic growth process in Greenland. Second, the results of an empirical investigation into the relationship between economic growth in Greenland and indicators of trade, financial, and technological dependency do not find support for the theoretical proposition fhat a negative association exists between economic growth and dependency. Rather, the evidence points to a positive association between growth and some indicators of dependency. Third, an analysis of structural change and instability suggest that structural change has occurred in Greenland. In general, the analysis points to the sensitivity of the Greenland economy to shocks to its natural resource supply, and it highlights the lack of areal change in policy regime with the implementation of Home Rule. Fourth, an empirical investigation into the degree of export and income instability in Greenland, and its causes and consequences, suggests first, that export and income instability is associated with some indicators of economic dependency, and second, that export and income instability both act as deterrents to economic growth in Greenland.

    Naalakkersuisut Siulittaasuata Naalakkersuisoqarfia Formandens Departement Selvstyrets Aktieselskaber - Årlig Redegørelse til Inatsisartut 2013 EM 2013/omdeles November 2013 Selvstyrets aktieselskaber Årlig redegørelse til Inatsisartut - 2013 Forord Selvstyrets aktieselskaber involverer os alle her i landet hvad enten der er tale om dagligvarebutikker i den lokale Pilersuisoq eller mobilt bredbånd til den nye telefon. Foruden de grundlæggende infrastrukturelle ydelser leverer nogle af aktieselskaberne erhvervsmæssige ydelser og skaber erhvervsudvikling. Af den samlede arbejdsstyrke her i landet er således omkring 1/5 af os direkte ansat i et af de selvstyreejet aktieselskaber. Det er derfor ekstremt vigtigt at selskaberne drives effektivt og omkostningsbevidst. Selskabernes ydelser og priser berører os alle ikke mindst betydningen for den enkelte borgers handlefrihed og muligheder når vi sammensætter vores indkøb ud fra vores indkomst. Naalakkersuisut har som erklæret mål at have en dynamisk og strategisk tilgang til ejerskaberne og fortsat at professionalisere ejerskabet af de helt og delvist selvstyreejede aktieselskaber. Formålet er at sikre, at selskaberne ledes fagligt og formeligt, og at alle interessenter har en klar forståelse af, hvad Naalakkersuisut forventer af ledelsen i de selvstyrejede aktieselskaber. De selvstyreejede selskaber omfatter fortsat en væsentlig del af erhvervslivet. Mange indtager en dominerende rolle på deres respektive markeder. Det er Naalakkersuisuts målsætning, at fortsætte udviklingen mod et mere differentieret erhvervsliv, hvor alt ikke nødvendigvis behøver være ejet af Grønlands Selvstyre. Selskabernes strategier skal være i overensstemmelse med de strategiske rammer, som fastlægges igennem dialog mellem Naalakkersuisut og selskabernes bestyrelser. Med denne årlige redegørelse håber jeg, at alle har mulighed for at følge udviklingen i de selvstyreejede aktieselskaber og dermed på egen hånd, kan danne sig en holdning til de enkelte selskabers forfatning.

    Selvstyrets Aktieselskaber - Årlig redegørelse til Inatsisartut 2018 EM 2018/omdeles November 2018 SELVSTYRETS AKTIESELSKABER ÅRLIG REDEGØRELSE TIL INATSISARTUT - 2018 Forord Den grønlandske økonomi er kendetegnet ved, at de selvstyreejede selskaber har en stor betydning for produktion, indkomst og beskæftigelse i samfundet. De selvstyreejede selskabers aktiviteter omfatter dels traditionelle offentlige aktivitetsområder som infrastruktur, men også inden for erhvervsvirksomhed, hvor aktiviteterne blandt andet omfatter fiskeri, skibstrafik samt engros- og detailhandel. Overordnet set er de selvstyreejede virksomheder organiseret i enten aktieselskabsform eller som en nettostyret virk- somhed. Ved udgangen af 2017 ejede selvstyret aktier i 15 aktieselskaber, hvoraf 13 er helejet og 2 er del- vist selvstyreejede. Derudover har selvstyret 3 nettostyrede virksomheder. De selvstyreejede selskaber og virksomheder har gennemgående en stærk og professionel ledelse i direk- tion og bestyrelse. Naalakkersuisut prioriterer en optimal ledelsessammensætning i selskaber og virksom- heder, således at ledelsen rummer et solidt kendskab til samfundsforholdene og til leldelse inden for det område, virksomheden opererer i. Selskabsredegørelsen beskriver selskabernes resultater i 2017 både i tal og i ord. Naalakkersuisut er af den overbevisning, at det er overordnet set er positiv læsning. Med disse ord vil jeg ønske god læselyst. Formand for Naalakkersuisut Kim Kielsen 2 SELVSTYRETS AKTIESELSKABER ÅRLIG REDEGØRELSE TIL INATSISARTUT - 2018 SELVSTYRETS AKTIESELSKABER

It is therefore important to provide information about the markets, their characteristics and the operating context. This report gives an overview of the mining market and context in Greenland. Mining activities have so far been limited in Greenland considering the potential. A relatively weak record of mining activity appears to contrast with the metal endowment and existence of numerous mineral occurrences and several world class mineral deposits. Mineral exploration and mining in Greenland often occur in remote areas, usually far from existing infrastructure.

Udvalget har til opgave at følge den økonomiske udvikling i Grønland og afgive beretninger herom til statsministeren og Grønlands Hjemmestyre. Statens myndigheder skal holde det rådgivende udvalg underrettet om alle foranstaltninger af betydning for de økonomiske forhold i Grønland, og udvalgets udtalelse skal indhentes, inden der foretages væsentlige ændringer i de retningslinier, som ligger til grund for ydelse af statstilskud, samt ved andre statslige dispositioner, der har en væsentlig betydning for Grønlands økonomi. Udvalget kan efter anmodning fra de grønlandske myndigheder rådgive om tilrettelæggelsen af den generelle økonomiske politik i Grønland og om væsentlige økonomiske spørgsmål i øvrigt. Det forudsættes, at udvalget etablerer et nært samarbejde med de grønlandske myndigheder omkring fremskaffelse af det fornødne økonomiske og statistiske dokumentationsmateriale. Udvalget består af en formand og 6 medlemmer, hvoraf Statsministeriet udpeger formanden og 3 medlemmer. De øvrige medlemmer udpeges af Finansministeriet, Danmarks Statistik og Grønlands Hjemmestyre.
