The economy of Greenland is characterized as small, mixed and vulnerable.[8] Greenland's economy consists of a large public sector and comprehensive[9] foreign trade. This has resulted in an economy with periods of strong growth, considerable inflation, unemployment problems and extreme dependence on capital inflow from the Kingdom Government.[8]
