Overview
Greenland's gni per capita stood at $34,800 in 2007, a rise of +$4,560 from 2006. Greenland ranked 26th globally.
Greenland’s gross national income per capita rose dramatically from a trough of 1,890.00 in 1972 to an all‑time peak of 34,800.00 in 2007, placing it 26th globally in that year. This twenty‑four‑fold increase over 36 years reflects the territory’s expanding fisheries exports, growing tourism revenues and substantial fiscal transfers from Denmark, which together have lifted average earnings to a level comparable with high‑income economies. In 2007 Greenland’s GNI per capita was only marginally below Italy’s 35,880.00 and Singapore’s 36,010.00, and slightly above Brunei Darussalam’s 33,470.00, underscoring its rapid convergence toward the upper tier of the World Bank income distribution. The sustained upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in renewable energy projects and diversification of the non‑oil sector could maintain or even accelerate growth, while any significant downturn in global commodity prices or reduced Danish subsidies would likely temper the advance.
