Location of the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are an archipelago between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic approximately halfway between Norway and Iceland, Script error: No such module "convert". north-northwest of mainland Scotland. The islands are an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.[1]

Economic troubles caused by a collapse of the Faroese fishing industry in the early 1990s brought high unemployment rates of 10 to 15% by the mid-1990s.[2] Unemployment decreased in the later 1990s, down to about 6% at the end of 1998.[2] By June 2008 unemployment had declined to 1.1%, before rising to 3.4% in early 2009.[2] In December 2014[3] the unemployment was 3.2%. Nevertheless, the almost total dependence on fishing and fish farming means that the economy remains vulnerable. One of the biggest private companies of the Faroe Islands is the salmon-farming company Bakkafrost, which is the largest of the four salmon-farming companies in the Faroe Islands[4] and the eighth-biggest in the world.[5]
