They provide both a description of the economy in general and of the transactions between persons, enterprises and institutions. The national accounts also include transactions between Denmark and the rest of the world. This set of statistics was first published in 1982. Coherent annual time series are available back to 1995, while quarterly figures are available from the first quarter of 1999 onwards., Statistical presentation, National accounts by sectors provide an overview of the activities and the development of the Danish economy. They contain key indicators such as the gross value added (GDP) and figures for private consumption, investments, exports and imports, earnings and property incomes as well as the profit in six main sectors (non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households, non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) and the external sector) and productivity in the industries. They also include figures for the many sub-classifications, which facilitates analysis of various cross-sections of the national economy. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Basically, all economic statistics available are used for the national accounts. When the first estimate for a given period is prepared, it is done before all source data for the period is available. The calculations are based on the structure of the last final national accounts, which is projected with indicators from e.g. the business cycle statistics. When new source data becomes available, it is incorporated in the national accounts at set intervals. Three years after a given period, the national accounts are regarded as final., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of these statistics is to clarify how income is generated as a result of the productive activity in society, which is then redistributed before it provides a basis for demand for goods and services for consumption and investment. The institutional sectors are relevant to everyone concerned with socio-economic conditions. The field ranges from the financial, economic and fiscal ministries’ use of the national accounts to common interest in knowledge about the trend of the economy. The press is particularly interested in the figures for the household sector. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The ability of the national accounts to describe the economic reality accurately depends partly on the uncertainty associated with the sources and partly on the model assumptions guiding their preparation. It is possible to draw up some parts more accurately than others, as better source data is available. The first estimates of national accounts for a period will be more uncertain than the final version, which is released after three years, as revisions are made regularly as new source data becomes available., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly sector accounts is released 90 days after the end of the quarter. In connection with the publication of the fourth quarter at the end of March, the first version of the annual sector accounts is also published. Almost three years after the end of the year, the final annual and quarterly national accounts are published. The sector accounts are published punctually., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The national accounts are prepared according to international guidelines and, as a result, they will be comparable across countries. The current guidelines were implemented in 2014 and have been applied for revision of the national accounts back to 1966, however 1971 for institutional sectors. They reflect all parts of the national economy, so that most economic statistics contain figures that have their counterparts in the national accounts, which are e.g. fully consistent with the balance of payments and general government. For other statistics, the transition will often be complicated due to different definitions and requirements for coverage., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in a number of tables in the StatBank under , National accounts and government finances, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The accounts are compiled in accordance with the guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are comparable with regional accounts for other European countries. Regional accounts are published at the NUTS II level (regions) and NUTS III level (provinces). Regional accounts have been compiled since 1999., Statistical presentation, Regional accounts describe the geographical dimension of production and income conditions as these are compiled in the national accounts using the production approach. The regional allocation aims at adding production etc. to the region where production takes place. , Regional accounts contain information on GDP, gross value added, gross fixed capital formation, compensation of employees and employment. Moreover the household sector's incomes are compiled. The regional allocation of the household income is based on the residence of the households and not where the incomes are earned., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are based on regional versions of the national accounts' sources, where this is possible. The main sources are Accounting Statistics for Non-agricultural Private Sector and General Government Finances Statistics. The sources are used either directly or as a distribution key. The regional accounts are revised in line with the publication rhythm of the national accounts. The final figures for the regional accounts are therefore not available until three years after the end of the reference period., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, National and regional accounts are relevant for all, who deal with economic and regional matters., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Regional accounts are subject to the same margins of uncertainty as the annual national accounts and the inaccuracy here relates to the inaccuracy of the various sources used. However, the conceptual consistency and over time uniform adaptation of the sources contribute to reduce the inaccuracy of the national accounts figures. In particular, the combination of the primary sources into a coherent system in many cases reveals errors, which are therefore not reflected in the final national accounts. With regard to the regional dimension the following factors can be mentioned:, Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, First version of regional accounts is published 12 month after the reference year. Final regional accounts are published 3 years after the reference year. Regional accounts have a high degree of punctuality, Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Regional accounts are consistent with the national accounts, as the sum of the figures for each region with respect to each individual variable is equal to the national accounts value for the same variables. Consequently, each variable can be interpreted in the same manner as the national accounts variables. Regional accounts are based on guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are thereby directly comparable with other regional accounts from the EU Member States. Consistent time series are available for 1993 onwards., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release. In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under , National accounts by region, .

These trends are considered as an essential economic or short time indicators. Compilation of the statistics was established in January 1979 based on a 'simple count method'. In 2009 the method was changed to a registry-based method. Quarterly statistics on selected and aggregated NACE-sections are published from July 2021., Data on petitions for liquidation proceedings are calculated on experimental basis as a high frequent (weekly) short time indicator. They cover the period since 2011., Statistical presentation, The statistics on declared bankruptcies show monthly the development in the number of announcements by industry, region, company age, turn-over and employment. Furthermore average company age, total turn-over and total employment (lost jobs) in bankrupt companies are calculated. The bankruptcies are moreover calculated for so called active companies, i.e. companies with employment and/or turnover >= 1 million DKK, as well as inactive companies, i.e. companies without employment and turnover less than 1 million DKK., Figures on petitions for liquidation proceedings are calculated on experimental basis as a high frequent (weekly) short time indicator.

The bankruptcies are moreover calculated for so called active companies, i.e. companies with employment and/or turnover >= 1 million DKK, as well as inactive companies, i.e. companies without employment and turnover less than 1 million DKK. The main series with the total number of bankruptcies are seasonal adjusted together with the series of bankruptcies in active companies., The series on petitions for liquidation proceedings are checked at delivery. Some of the petitions for liquidation proceedings are removed from data as they cover private bankruptcies., The new enterprises are transformed to an index., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics on declared bankruptcies, petitions and new enterprises for liquidation proceedings are used by public and private decision-makers as short time indicators and as indicators of the state of affairs in enterprises., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, There are no changes to former published data. Company ages can be underestimated due to companies changes in the 'cvr'-number. Turn-over and employment figures does not necessarily reflect the situation on the time of bankruptcy as these data refer to an earlier reference period (year or quarter)., Earlier published figures on petitions for liquidation proceedings can be changed by new data deliveries., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics on declared bankruptcies and petitions for liquidations is published in the first week after the reference month. , Publications on declared bankruptcies are released on time, as stated in the release calendar. , Index for new enterprises is published to weeks after the end of the reference month., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The figures for declared bankruptcies before 2009 are not fully compatible with the later figures as the former figures also contain personal bankruptcies.

In relation to the publication of the new Standardised index of average earnings, these indices were renamed to Implicit index of average earnings. In the new index changes in the workforce is taken into account when calculating the development in earnings., The Implicit index of average earnings goes back to first quarter of 2005 for the private sector and first quarter of 2007 for the public sector., Statistics Denmark has decided to discontinue the implicit index of average earnings at the beginning of 2026 with the publication of the index for the fourth quarter of 2025. Instead, users are advised to use the standardised index of average earnings, which also illustrates the development in pay level for employees in Denmark. The discontinuation of the implicit index of average earnings will not have any impact on the standardised index of average earnings, which will be the only wage index from Statistics Denmark in the future. The historical series of the implicit index of average earnings will continue to be accessible in StatBank Denmark. In order for users to handle the transition to the standardised index of average earnings, a guide (in Danish) has been prepared on how to switch from the implicit to the standardised index of average earnings in practice. It is available on Statistics Denmark's information page on , indexation, ., Statistical presentation, The Implicit index of average earnings is a quarterly statistic of the development in wages for all employees in Denmark, including students and young persons under 18. The indices are available by sector and economic industries and follow the classifications Dansk Branchekode (DB07) and sector (SBR)., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data is collected from a sample of companies and organisations as well as the entire public sector, covering the middle month of the quarter., Data is validated by using fixed boundaries, both at individual and company level. Manual corrections are also made if required. Only companies that are present in both quarters are included in the calculations., In the calculation of the most detailed sub-indices, data for the private sector are weighted to the target population and the individual employment types are weighted with the hours worked., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Implicit index of average earnings is a so-called unit value index, where wage trends are estimated on the basis of a simple salary average of all employees in the same industry. This means that wages partly reflect changes in staff composition in a given industry., Private enterprises as well as ministries etc are the central users. The index is used especially in connection with various contract regulations, as well as the regulatory scheme in the public wageagreements., The Implicit index of average earnings is the wage index that comes closest to being comparable to the European LCI., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, For the public sector the statistics are based on data for virtually all employees. For the private sector, there are two factors that can affect accuracy, namely uncertainty in the sample statistics and that there may be problems with the completeness of the reported data from the company., This index is an where the sum of wages and hours worked is counted in each group (etc. activity sector). Thus, changes in personnel in a given industry will have an impact on the measured wage development., The figures do not undergo revision; the published figures are usually final., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The implicit index of average earnings are published approx. 60 days after the end of the reference quarter, at the same time as the standardised index of average earnings is published. These statistics are published without delay., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The implicit index of average earnings is comparable since first quarter 2005 but for some sectors, comparable wage indices also exist further back in time. The implicit index of average earnings is based on the same data as the standardised index of average earning, but there are significant differences in methodology that allow the two wage indices to be used only partially for comparison., Internationally, the implicit index of average earnings can be compared to the labor cost index collected and published by Eurostat for all EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The implicit index of average earnings is published in Statistics Denmark’s newsletter on [https://www.dst.dk/da/statistik/nyheder-analyser-publ/nyt?psi=1931), together with the standardized index of average earnings.

The job vacancy statistics is an important labour market indicator as businesses typically reduce the number of job vacancies before they begin the dismissal of employees. Data on job vacancies is collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Statistical presentation, The statistics shows the quarterly development in the real number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates in relation to the sum of job vacancies and occupied posts in the Danish labour market. The statistics are broken into economic activity and size, which makes it possible to monitor and analyse the scope and structure of the demand for labour by industry and size level of the workplaces. Furthermore, the number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates at regional level are estimated., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are compiled with use off a digital questionnaire, with a quarterly survey population of approximately 7,000 local units . Data are corrected for errors and for not reported data an imputation is conducted. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The users of the statistics are primary the press, private companies, private persons and Eurostat. The statistic is used in analysis about the demand for labour and in the public debate. Data on job vacancies are collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As with all other sample-based statistics, there are some sample errors associated with the estimates. As is the case in other EU Member States, the variation coefficient (CV), which is the standard deviation in relation to the estimate, is used in calculating the sample errors. For the total number of occupied posts the variation coefficient normally is under 1 per cent, while for the total number of job vacancies the variation coefficient is 3-5 per cent. For the NACE sections and size classes the CV are relatively high. This is due to the great variations between the number of job vacancies reported and the many data reported concerning zero vacancies.., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Data are released around 75 days after the reference quarter. The punctuality is very high, as delays in planned releases happen very rarely., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, From the third quarter of 2012 a new more updated population is used in the enumeration process. The population is drawn from the ESR-register and contains information on the number of occupied posts, which are only three quarters old compared to the former population which was based on a less updated register. The changed enumeration process is estimated to have impact on the number of job vacancies, but not on the JVR (Job Vacancy Rate), which means that the number of job vacancies are not comparable historically in contrast to the JVR., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Data are published quarterly in News from Statistics Denmark.

It is used, among other things, for regulation of building contracts, and for following the economic conjuncture in the construction industry. The statistics have been compiled in various forms since 1959, but in its current form the indices for earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, and iron structures are comparable from 1976 and onwards. The index for roads is comparable from 1996 and onwards., Statistical presentation, The Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects shows trends in prices for work performed by different contractors in civil engineering projects: Earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, iron structures, operating index, and sub-indices for Freight transport by road, and Equipment and machinery. Trends in costs for construction of roads are also monitored based on a weighing of indices for earthwork, asphalt work, concrete structures and iron structures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The indices are calculated on the basis of information from the Standardised index of average earnings, Price index for domestic supply, the Producer price index for services, and Net price index., For all indices, sub-indices for labor costs and main cost groups are calculated. These sub-indices are weighed together to form the main indices. The weights reflect the shares of labor costs, material costs and equipment costs of the total costs of performing civil-engineering projects. The weights are based on an analysis of actual, completed civil engineering projects., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of the Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects is to reflect the development in the costs of civil-engineering projects. It is mainly used for regulation of building contracts. The indices are utilized primarily by construction organizations, contractors, building owners, craftsmen, lawyers and public authorities., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Overall the statistics are assessed to be representative for the general trends in costs of civil engineering projects in Denmark. The weight basis is based on an analysis of actual civil engineering projects. Changes in the typical use of materials, unusual price developments etc. may therefore affect the index' accuracy. The weight basis was last updated in 2025 with 2021 as reference period and is deemed representative for typical civil engineering work., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly approximately 70 days after the end of the quarter, i.e. at the beginning of March (4th quarter), June (1st quarter), September (2nd quarter) and December (3rd quarter). Yearly statistics (four quarter averages) are also published in connection with the 4th quarter publication. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first cost index for road fund work was compiled for March 1959 and the index for motorway work was compiled for the first time for March 1967., The indices have since then changes both weights and calculation method several times, thus they are not directly comparable over time when going back to 1959., The Norwegian statistical agency /(Statistics Norway) produce a cost index for road construction which is comparable to the Danish indices., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published i StatBank Denmark under the subject , Indices for the construction sector, .

The estimate is subject to a number of conditions and assumptions on migration, mortality and fertility. The projection is based on the assumption that the development in recent years continues. Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., Statistics Denmark has prepared population projections since 1963. Since 2010, the projections have been produced in collaboration with DREAM (Danish Research Institute for Economic Analysis and Modelling), which is an independent institution whose purpose it is to develop and maintain tools for structural policy analysis. , Statistical presentation, Based on the projection for all of Denmark, Statistics Denmark subsequently makes projections that can be disaggregated by sex, age, provinces and municipalities. As part of the projections, figures are also available on demographic changes in terms of liveborn children, deaths, immigrants and emigrants., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The population projections are based on historical data regarding the composition of the population in terms of sex, age and ancestry as well as fertility, mortality, immigration and emigration, and internal migration., Assumptions on the future development in fertility, mortality and migration are necessary to be able to make the projections., The projections are made every year using the population on 1 January. They are released in the beginning of May., A projection is made for the whole country as well as projections for the 11 provinces and 98 municipalities., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The projections for municipalities are widely used by the municipalities, and they create the basis for the municipalities’ own projections, which often incorporate a number of local factors that are not part of Statistics Denmark’s projections. The municipalities may use the projections in their planning of institutions, schools and the need for nursing homes in the future. Local media across the country take great interest in Statistics Denmark’s projection., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The population projection is built on previous years’ development and is an estimate of the population development. The estimate is subject to a number of conditions and assumptions on migration, mortality and fertility. The projection is based on the assumption that the development seen in recent years will continue. Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., In 2024 the projection for Denmark was 0.1 percentage points below actual population growth. To a wide extent, the uncertainty at municipal level is linked to the fact that local development plans and local decisions are not part of the model. Especially in 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty. In 2024, 60 per cent of the municipalities were within minus 0.5 percentage points of the actual population growth the first year. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistics have been published as announced without delay in the month of May or June., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Each projection is a new set of statistics and must not be used for time series together with previous projections., With the projection 2010, Statistics Denmark made the projection for all of Denmark for the first time in collaboration with DREAM, and in connection with this, a switch was made to a new projection model based on DREAM’s previous model., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The population projections are published in Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik (Statistics Denmark’s news series in Danish) under the subject , Population projections, .

The statistics are used to compare the allocation of resources across municipalities. Data is available dating back to 1943, but in its current form, the statistics are comparable from 2015 onwards, when the method of calculation was changed to full-time units., Statistical presentation, The statistics provide an annual overview of the number of enrolled children and the number of staff with pedagogical responsibilities in municipal and independent day care institutions as well as pool scheme institutions and municipal day care. Both children and staff are measured in full-time equivalents (FTEs)., The statistics also include staffing ratios, calculated as the ratio between children and staff. The ratios are gross staffing levels, meaning that all working hours are included, including time for planning and parent meetings. Adjustments are made for parental leave, substitutes are included, and both pedagogical leaders and centrally based support staff are part of the calculation., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Information on enrolled children and employees are obtained primarily from registration in municipalities through the municipalities' and regions' payroll office. Data is examined for errors and all municipalities validate their data in dialogue with Statistics Denmark., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There are different and diverse users of the statistics. The Danish Ministries use the statistics to compare the resource allocation to childcare in different municipalities and to develop policies on child care. Interest organizations, such as the National Association of Pedagogues (BUPL), the National Associations of Municipalities (KL) and The Association of Parents (FOLA) use the statistics to assess the service level in the childcare area.

The accuracy is affected by errors in municipal registrations and whether keys for distributing staff in age groups 0-2 and 3-5 years in 0-5 year institutions are correct. Employees and children from private institutions are not included in the statistics, because of an unrealistic high or low ratio of children pr. employee in such institutions. Moreover uncertainty comes from single registration errors that do not give systematic errors in the calculation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approx. ten months after the end of the reference year. The statistics are published without delay in relation to the pre-announced release date in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Statistic on childcare can be dated back to 1943.
