🇬🇧 English

This report assesses Denmark’s economic position and policy challenges for 2026. It finds that Denmark is growing faster than the EU average, mainly because of strong exports and a rapidly expanding pharmaceutical sector, while other parts of the economy are weaker. For businesses and compliance teams, the key message is that Denmark remains financially stable, with low public debt and budget surpluses, but growth is uneven. Companies should watch sector-specific exposure, labour market constraints, construction costs, and Denmark’s reliance on international trade and foreign workers.
