Danish block grant as a share of Greenland GDP, 2003 and 2023.
The Danish block grant equalled 30.0% of Greenland’s GDP in 2003 and 18.7% in 2023. Each percentage uses the GDP denominator for its own year. The grant’s GDP share fell by 11.3 percentage points, or 37.7% relative to its 2003 level. The decline reflects GDP growing faster than the nominal transfer, not a fall in the grant itself.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2003 | 30.0% | 2003 |
| 2 | 2023 | 18.7% | 2023 |

Evidence: Supports the block-grant level and its reported shares of GDP and government revenue.
The lower GDP share does not mean the nominal grant declined; it reflects economic growth relative to the transfer. The grant-to-GDP series is separate from the grant's share of government revenue. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
Compares the block grant's reported GDP share at two distant annual anchors. Each percentage uses that year's GDP denominator.
Both observations describe the same grant-to-GDP concept and use each year's GDP denominator. The long interval retains the source definitions for both endpoints.
