With rising employment rates, declining rates of inflation, lower greenhouse gas emissions and higher renewable energy consumption, Denmark is in a good economic situation, although there are some minor signs of plateau in terms of growth.

Analysts expect that the main driver of economic growth in coming years will come primarily from Danish companies with a global presence. However, some remarks point at concerns over rising prices and cost of living.

Denmark is not in the euro zone and the local currency is the Danish krone (the exchange rate at the time of writing is 1 Danish krone equals 0.13 euro).
