  Economy
  
   Overview: Greenland's economic situation at present is difficult.
   Unemployment is increasing, and prospects for economic growth in the
   immediate future are dim. Following the closing of the Black Angel
   lead and zinc mine in 1989, Greenland became almost completely
   dependent on fishing and fish processing, the sector accounting for
   95% of exports. Prospects for fisheries are not bright, as the
   important shrimp catches will at best stabilize and cod catches have
   dropped. Resumption of mining and hydrocarbon activities is not around
   the corner, thus leaving only tourism with some potential for the near
   future. The public sector in Greenland, i.e., the central government
   and its commercial entities and the municipalities, plays a dominant
   role in Greenland accounting for about two-thirds of total employment.
   About half the government's revenues come from grants from the Danish
   Government.
