      Economy - overview:

       The economy remains critically dependent on exports of fish and

       substantial support from the Danish Government, which supplies about

       half of government revenues. The public sector, including

       publicly-owned enterprises and the municipalities, plays the

       dominant role in the economy. Despite several interesting

       hydrocarbon and minerals exploration activities, it will take

       several years before production can materialize. Tourism is the only

       sector offering any near-term potential, and even this is limited

       due to a short season and high costs.
