Question from Member of Inatsisartut Lars Poulsen (Siumut)

Parliament of Greenland

Received: 28 January 2026 – Sent to the Government of Greenland: 29 January 2026

I would like to request a comprehensive overview of mortgage activity and related financial impacts in Greenland over the past ten years. Specifically:

1. What is the total amount of mortgage loans issued in Greenland in the last ten years, presented with a year-by-year breakdown?
2. How have these mortgage loans been distributed geographically—by city and place of residence—each year during this period?
3. Which mortgage institutions have provided these loans, and in which countries or regions are these institutions based?
4. What is the total value of tax deductions claimed for interest on mortgage loans (interest deductions) over the past ten years, with annual figures?
5. What is the total amount of interest paid in Greenland during this period, presented per year?
6. What is the total value of real estate pledged as collateral to mortgage institutions in the past ten years, with annual amounts?
7. Finally, how much combined debt has the Self-Government, the municipalities, and self-government-owned companies incurred with mortgage credit institutions?

I look forward to the Government’s detailed response.
