The budget balance in relation to the gross domestic product (GDP) in Denmark was estimated at approximately 4.50 percent in 2024. Between 1980 and 2024, the budget balance rose by around 8.18 percentage points, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The budget balance is expected to drop by about 4.98 percentage points between 2024 and 2030, showing a continuous downward movement throughout the period.The indicator describes the general government net lending / borrowing, which is calculated as revenue minus total expenditure. The International Monetary Fund defines the general government expenditure as consisting of total expenses and the net acquisition of nonfinancial assets. The general government revenue consists of the revenue from taxes, social contributions, grants receivable, and other revenue.

Denmark DK: Total Government Allocations For R&D (GBARD) data was reported at 23,119.600 DKK mn in 2022. This records a decrease from the previous number of 23,124.000 DKK mn for 2021. Denmark DK: Total Government Allocations For R&D (GBARD) data is updated yearly, averaging 10,282.400 DKK mn from Dec 1981 (Median) to 2022, with 42 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 23,124.000 DKK mn in 2021 and a record low of 1,982.300 DKK mn in 1981. Denmark DK: Total Government Allocations For R&D (GBARD) data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

In Denmark: from reference year 2007, the surveys are conducted by Statistics Denmark (previously by the Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy). Modifications in the questionnaires have increased the response rate; this is particularly noticeable in the Business enterprise sector where survey response is now mandatory. Additionally, due to changes in the administrative structure, a number of institutes, previously classified in the Government sector, were merged with universities.

Until 2002, the HE-sector R&D expenditure was underestimated as R&D carried out in hospital departments at the university-hospitals was included in the Government sector.

As of 2002, the business enterprise survey specifically requests data on researchers, technicians and other personnel. Earlier data for R&D personnel by occupation are based on qualification.

In 2017, unit reclassification led to a break in series in the “industrial production and technology” socio-economic objective (increase) and the “general advancement of knowledge, other than GUF” (decrease). From 2002, GBARD data include government-financed R&D on renewable energy. In 2001, a new principle concerning budgeting of commitments was introduced: commitments of grants are carried to the debit side at the time of entering the commitment, where previously commitment of grants was carried to the debit side at maturity.

From 1999, provincial and local government funding is included in the GBARD data (in particular funding in provincial hospitals), as well as funding from the Danish National Research Foundation and the Danish Investment Fund. In 1983, 1988, and 1993, the method for breaking down GBARD data by socio-economic objectives changed, leading to breaks in series.

The gross domestic product (GDP) in current prices in Denmark saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 2804.74 billion Danish Kroner. In comparison to 2022, the GDP decreased not significantly by 39.5 billion Danish Kroner (-1.39 percent).

A nitrogen (N) budget for Denmark has been developed for the years 1990 to 2010, describing the inputs and outputs at the national scale and the internal flows between relevant sectors of the economy. Satisfactorily closing the N budgets for some sectors of the economy was not possible, due to missing or contradictory information. The budgets were nevertheless considered sufficiently reliable to quantify the major flows. Agriculture was responsible for the majority of inputs, though fisheries and energy generation also made significant contributions. Agriculture was the main source of N input to the aquatic environment, whereas agriculture, energy generation and transport all contributed to emissions of reactive N gases to the atmosphere. Significant reductions in inputs of reactive N have been achieved during the 20 years, mainly by restricting the use of N for crop production and improving livestock feeding. This reduction has helped reduce nitrate leaching by about half. Measures to limit ammonia emissions from agriculture and mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from energy generation and transport, has reduced gaseous emissions of reactive N. Much N flows through the food and feed processing industries and there is a cascade of N through the consumer to solid and liquid waste management systems. The budget was used to frame a discussion of the potential for further reductions in losses of reactive N to the environment. These will include increasing the recycling of N between economic sectors, increasing the need for the assessment of knock-on effects of interventions within the context of the national N cycle. The data describe the flows of nitrogen between different pools and economic sectors within Denmark. The data are stored in an Excel spreadsheet that is divided into a number of worksheets. The National worksheet contains the national flows of nitrogen for the years 1990 to 2010 (note that for some flows, the data series is not complete for all years). These data underlie the national nitrogen flow figures in the main text of the paper. The remaining worksheets contain the data that underlie the figures presented in the detailed description of nitrogen flows between pools/sectors, that is in the Supplementary Material associated with the paper.

The per capita consumer spending on clothing and footwear in Denmark was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 169.6 U.S. dollars (+13.2 percent). After the fifth consecutive increasing year, the fashion-related per capita spending is estimated to reach 1,454.08 U.S. dollars and therefore a new peak in 2029. Consumer spending, in this case per capita spending concerning clothing and footwear, refers to the domestic demand of private households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). Spending by corporations and the state is not included. The forecast has been adjusted for the expected impact of COVID-19.Consumer spending is the biggest component of the gross domestic product as computed on an expenditure basis in the context of national accounts. The other components in this approach are consumption expenditure of the state, gross domestic investment as well as the net exports of goods and services. Consumer spending is broken down according to the United Nations' Classification of Individual Consumption By Purpose (COICOP).The shown data adheres broadly to group 03. As not all countries and regions report data in a harmonized way, all data shown here has been processed by Statista to allow the greatest level of comparability possible. The underlying input data are usually household budget surveys conducted by government agencies that track spending of selected households over a given period.The data is shown in nominal terms which means that monetary data is valued at prices of the respective year and has not been adjusted for inflation. For future years the price level has been projected as well. The data has been converted from local currencies to US$ using the average exchange rate of the respective year. For forecast years, the exchange rate has been projected as well. The timelines therefore incorporate currency effects.Find more key insights for the per capita consumer spending on clothing and footwear in countries like Finland and Sweden.
