Overview
Greenland's control of corruption stood at 0.98 in 2025, a decline of +0.05 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.98 by 2025. Greenland ranked 36th globally.
Greenland’s score on the World Bank’s Control of Corruption indicator has slipped from a high of 1.24 in 2013 to a trough of 0.98 in 2025, placing the territory 36th globally among 190 economies. The 16‑year series shows a gradual decline after the early‑2010s peak, with the latest 2025 value of 0.98 matching that of Macao SAR, China, and remaining below the United States’ 1.07 and Monaco’s 0.95. The downward trajectory suggests that recent governance reforms have not kept pace with rising expectations for transparency and accountability, as evidenced by the erosion of the earlier peak. While Greenland still outperforms many small jurisdictions, the narrowing gap with peers such as American Samoa (0.95) indicates increasing vulnerability to corruption risks. Continued investment in anti‑corruption institutions and stronger enforcement mechanisms will be crucial if Greenland hopes to reverse the current trend and regain a higher standing in future assessments.
