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 a high standard of living 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, have since continued to decline. Household indebtedness is still relatively high at more than 275% of gross disposable income in the first half of 2013. The global financial crisis has exacerbated this cyclical slowdown through increased borrowing costs and lower export demand, consumer confidence, and investment. Denmark made a modest recovery in 2010, in part because of increased government spending; however, the country experienced a technical recession in late 2010-early 2011 and has been slow to emerge from it in 2012-14 . Historically low levels of unemployment rose sharply with the recession and have remained at about 6% in 2010-13, 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, where it remains. In spite of the deficits, the new coalition government delivered a modest stimulus to the economy in 2012. Despite previously meeting the criteria to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), Denmark has negotiated an opt-out with the EU and is not required to adopt the euro.

Payment pattern

Payments pattern compared to other Danish businesses (days beyond terms).

The graph shows how many days beyond terms the business has settled accounts reported to KOB and how many days beyond terms other businesses on average settle their accounts.

The graph also shows the development in payment performance in the last 24 months (0-3 months) (0-24 months) from time of measurement.

On the basis of the above it is now possible to see whether the business is beginning to settle invoices earlier or later.

Payment performance broken down on time.

The graph shows as a percent how many invoices reported to KOB that the company settled on time (0 days) and how many it settled beyond due date.

The graph also shows the development in the past 24 months (0-12 months) (0-24 months) from time of measurement, and it will thus appear whether the business is beginning to settle accounts earlier or later.

The graph shows as a percent how many of the accounts reported to KOB that the company has settled on time (0 days) and how many it settled beyond due date. Data on size of invoice will also show whether the company settles large or small invoices early or late.
