Denmark - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

This thoroughly modern market economy features a high-tech agricultural sector, state-of-the-art industry with world-leading firms in pharmaceuticals, maritime shipping and renewable energy, and a high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is a member of the European Union (EU); Danish legislation and regulations conform to EU standards on almost all issues. Danes enjoy among the highest standards of living in the world and the Danish economy is characterized by extensive government welfare measures and an equitable distribution of income. Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and enjoys a comfortable balance of payments surplus but depends on imports of raw materials for the manufacturing sector. Within the EU, Denmark is among the strongest supporters of trade liberalization. After a long consumption-driven upswing, Denmark's economy began slowing in 2007 with the end of a housing boom. Housing prices dropped markedly in 2008-09 and, following a short respite in 2010, continued to decline in 2011 though at a slower pace. The global financial crisis has exacerbated this cyclical slowdown through increased borrowing costs and lower export demand, consumer confidence, and investment. The global financial crises cut Danish real GDP by 0.8% in 2008 and 5.8% in 2009. Denmark made a modest recovery in 2010 with real GDP growth of 1.3%, in part because of increased government spending; however, the country experienced a technical recession in late 2010-early 2011. Historically low levels of unemployment rose sharply with the recession and have remained at about 6% in 2010-11, based on the national measure, about two-thirds average EU unemployment. An impending decline in the ratio of workers to retirees will be a major long-term issue. Denmark maintained a healthy budget surplus for many years up to 2008, but the budget balance swung into deficit in 2009. In spite of the deficits, the new coalition government plans to deliver a modest stimulus to the economy in 2012. Nonetheless, Denmark's fiscal position remains among the strongest in the EU at 46.5% of GDP in 2011. Despite previously meeting the criteria to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), so far Denmark has decided not to join, although the Danish krone remains pegged to the euro. Denmark held the EU presidency during the first half of 2012; priorities included promoting a responsible, dynamic, green, and safe Europe, while working to steer Europe out of its euro zone economic crisis.

More Business Descriptions

 

Royal Greenland Seafood A/S is primarily engaged in the commercial catching or taking of shellfish (e.g., clams, crabs, lobsters, mussels, oysters, sea urchins, shrimp) from their natural habitat.

 

Royal Greenland is a one of the world leading companies in seafood industry. The company, together with its subsidiaries conducts fishing, processing, production, marketing and distribution of seafood products. It is also one of the world's largest suppliers of cold-water prawns. The group operates with production sites located across Greenland, Denmark, Norway, Germany and Poland with offices in Europe, the US and Japan. The company also owns a fleet of production trawlers and has part-ownership in others. Royal Greenland is a co-owner of the world's largest seafood smokehouse.The products range of the company includes the prawn- and shellfish products, fillet products, ready-to-eat products and smoked products. The Prawn and shellfish products are made from the prawns and shellfishes that are grown in the ice-cold and crystal-clear waters around Greenland thus making the products fresh and delicate taste. These prawns are collected at a depth of 200-500 meters. The company uses single-frozen prawns in its brine products. The company’s production area includes Germany, Poland, Denmark, Canada, and China. Royal Greenland offers several varieties of exciting natural fish fillets. The fillet product range includes traditional cod halibut, hake, coalfish and hoki. The ready-to-eat products include high-quality fish dishes, which can be prepared in no time. The fish used in ready-to-eat products are boneless and are easy to prepare in the oven or the frying-pan, and can be cooked straight from frozen condition. The company also supplies these products in packets. The company mainly smokes fish of the salmon family, with the largest category consisting of farmed salmon from Norway. The company also smokes wild salmon from Alaska and some Danish farmed lake trout. Smoking comprises of two types, namely, cold and hot-smoking. At Royal Greenland, glowing beechwood chips and whole beech logs are used for cold smoking. These smoked fish are seasoned in grill; juniper, garlic and pepper are all popular seasonings. Hot-smoked products have firmer consistency than cold-smoked products. The consistency is caused by the heat-treatment that takes place during smoking.Royal Greenland caters to all parts of the food service industry such as hotel/restaurant, canteens, institutions and assortments. The company primarily markets its products through shops. The subsidiaries, through which the company operates, include Royal Greenland Seafood GmbH, Royal Greenland Seafood Sp.z.o.o, Royal Greenland Italy S.p.A, Royal Greenland Narsaq, Royal Greenland France, Royal Greenland Finland, Royal Greenland U.S. Inc. and Royal Greenland Japan. Geographically, the company’s revenue generation regions are Europe and Other markets. For fiscal year 2011, the Europe region generated DKK3,683m and the other market region contributed DKK860m.
