The statistics is available from Q1 1995 and onwards., Statistical presentation, Quarterly financial accounts make up a consistent system, showing the financial flows and net worth of the general government sector of the economy over time. The financial accounts for the general government sector, the financial (transactions) account, which shows buying and selling of financial instruments, describes an important part of the transition from the opening balance sheet account to the closing balance sheet account. Because the financial instruments are valued at market price, another important part of the transition is made up by revaluations, which are shown in the revaluation account. The remaining part is found in the account of other changes in volume, showing e.g. losses on debtors and relocations of units between sectors. As a general rule opening balance sheet + financial transactions + revaluations + other change in volume = closing balance sheet should always hold. When published the revaluation account and the account of other change in volume are combined.

About microdata schemes

Denmark's Data Portal makes data available to authorised institutions for specific research, fact-finding and analytical tasks. Access to data can be granted under various data schemes depending on the institution or the project to which you seek access., The researcher scheme , Researchers and other analysts from authorised institutions can create a project with access to Statistics Denmark’s register data. , Read more about authorisation of institutions, The project database scheme , The project database scheme is intended for institutions that are continuously creating projects with significant overlap in data content. Under this scheme, it is not allowed to carry out research directly on the project database, and the scheme must not be used for projects or tasks that are not directly related to the purpose of the project database. Furthermore, the institution must have one or more employees at who can serve as project database managers, of whom at least one can functions as an administrator. The duties of the project database manager include population generation, data extraction etc. as well as ongoing communication with Statistics Denmark., If you want to apply for a project database to be set up, you must contact the Project database group at , FSEProjektdatabase@dst.dk, ., More on the project database scheme, An authorised institution can have a maximum of one project database. The project database is a collection of pseudonymised microdata. It is used over time for multiple projects (called subprojects) under the relevant project database scheme., For the project database, data is selected from Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data and, if relevant, data from other sources (such as the institution’s own data). The data content in project databases is subject to the data minimisation principle, and for that reason, data in a project database must be applied in several subprojects., In the project database scheme, the project database is called the main project. Other projects in the project database scheme are subprojects of the project database. The authorised institution that owns the project database therefore owns both the main project and the subprojects in the scheme., The target group of the project database scheme is institutions that:, are authorised for microdata schemes at Statistics Denmark., have at least five active projects with significantly overlapping data., continuously extend their project portfolio with new subprojects with significant overlap in the underlying data., Terms of a project database scheme, Project databases are subject to the following terms:, The institution is required to appoint one to three experienced project database managers who will be the assigned liaison officers with Statistics Denmark. Only project database managers get access to the actual project database., The project database and subprojects are subject to the data minimisation principle., The user must pay for all costs associated with the creation, operation and maintenance of the relevant project database. Subprojects are considered regular projects and are handled and invoiced separately., You can keep a project database going for as long as it is used for active subprojects. The project database can only be preserved as long as it is used for subprojects to an extend that is consistent with the data made available in the project database. The project database can thus be limited or discontinued if Statistics Denmark estimates that this is no longer the case., The authority scheme, The authority scheme makes microdata available to Danish institutions that carry out tasks for the authorities, i.e. departments, agencies and directorates, regions and municipalities. The scheme meets the demand for ad hoc analyses with tight deadlines. , Read more about the Authority scheme,  (in Danish), Data confidentiality and access rules, Access to data is given in agreement with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation, especially article 5(1)(c): , “Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (‘data minimisation’).” , This also applies to section 10 of the Danish Data Protection Act: , “Data as mentioned in Article 9(1) and Article 10 of the General Data Protection Regulation may be processed where the processing takes place for the sole purpose of carrying out statistical or scientific studies of significant importance to society and where such processing is necessary in order to carry out these studies.” , Read more on Statistics Denmark’s Data confidentiality policy and Information security policy

Certification of users

All users working with data in one of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes must achieve certification. The certification ensures that everybody knows the data security rules under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes and feels safe using and transferring data. To ensure continued high focus on the data security rules, all users must subsequently achieve re-certification once a year.,  , Certification in practice, In practice, the certification takes place via DDP App, where you must pass a test with questions on the data security rules described in , Denmark's Data Portal's data security rules under the microdata schemes (pdf), . It is a good idea to read the rules before you start. You have three attempts per day to pass., See the video guide for user certification (in Danish), This is how you do it:, Log into DDP App with your three/four-character ident and password., On your landing page, select the window ‘Learning and certification’. , Then select the tab ‘Certifications’. If it does not drop down automatically, click the small blue arrow., Answer the certification questions by clicking ‘Start certification’ and ‘OK’ in the info box that pops up., Answer the questions by clicking the option you believe to be correct., When you have answered all the questions, you click the button ‘Submit answer’, which has turned blue meanwhile., If you answer all ten questions correctly, you have passed the certification and you are considered able to handle data in accordance with our data security rules., Under ’Result’, your status will be indicated as ’Passed’, and a green info box appears with the text ’Congratulations, you have passed’., Under ’Resultat’ vil din status figurere som ’Bestået’, og der vises en grøn infoboks med teksten ’Tillykke, du har bestået’. , If you do not answer all ten questions correctly, you can see under ’Result’ how many questions you answered incorrectly in your attempt and how many remaining attempts you have. Furthermore, a red info box appears with the text ‘Sorry, you have not passed’., a) If you have more attempts left and want to re-take the test, press ’Certification front page’ and start over. Note that you have three attempts per day and that the questions change from time to time. Consider re-visiting the data security rules, before you try again., b) If you do not have any attempts left, your access to your projects will be locked for 24 hours. The small watch icon indicates when the 24 hours are up. After that, you can take the test again., The certification questions, The test contains questions about the data security rules (, data security rules under the microdata schemes (pdf), ). Since Statistics Denmark’s data security rules may differ from the practice in other institutions, it is important to read and know the rules under the microdata schemes. Knowing the rules is also the basis for answering the ten certification questions correctly. , Read more about the data security rules under Rules on transfer of analysis results , The questions are about access to researcher machines, pseudonymisation, transfer rules and working in general with data. Below you will find an example of a question that you can encounter in the certification test:, Question 1:, You have collected a survey that you are working on locally. You have registered the survey with the Danish Data Protection Agency, so the permits are in place. You have also sent the survey to Statistics Denmark to have the option of linking the survey with register data on the researcher server. Which is the correct statement?, Reply options:, a. You are allowed to download/transfer microdata from the survey that you have uploaded yourself., b. The only microdata you are not allowed to transfer, is microdata provided by Statistics Denmark to your project., c. Retrieval of microdata is never allowed regardless of data source.

Moreover, the statistics describes geographical distribution of funding as well as characteristics of recipients in terms of geography, sex and age (persons), or size and business type (companies). The statistics is established and continuously developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Data is collected via the Ministry of Culture's grant administrative systems, other financial systems and the Government Accounts. There are no uncertainty calculations available, but the overall precision is assessed to be very high with regard to the current payments from the Ministry of Culture. Over time, adjustments may occur in the Ministry of Culture's allocation of cultural subjects to certain schemes and budget areas. Likewise, changes in remit mean that government grants can be moved between departments. The ongoing adjustments can thus affect comparability over time., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are normally published in mid-June approximately 5½ months after the end of the reference period.

The statistics are a part of a cross-public cooperation, intended to ensure coherent documentation of important areas of municipal service, as well as to increase the comparability of the services provided in the different municipalities. The statistics are used to determine impact targets, frameworks and results requirements for key management initiatives and are comparable from 2008 onwards. Statistics Denmark is responsible for the composition and publication of the statistics., Statistical presentation, The statistic for 2025 covers data from the first 6 months of 2025. The statistic is an annual survey including a number of national impact- and background indicators which document and describe the quality of the municipal effort at the elderly area.

This is achieved by retrieving the information directly from the municipalities' care systems (EOJ), which is constantly updated as a part of the municipalities' case management., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The municipalities receive control tables, which they are asked to approve. Only approved information is included in the statistics. In the absence of approvals, previous years' information is included in the national totals and averages. For the publication for the first 6 months 2025, between 97 and 98 municipalities are included, depending on the indicator. Lack of approval may be due to the municipality's registration practices, which determine which data is reported, and system or supplier changes, where the reported data may be flawed. There are varying registration practices between municipalities in several areas, which can lead to distortions., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published as pre-advertised. The statistics are released approximately 6 months after the reference period has ended. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are generally comparable over time, but there are minor data breaks. The municipalities' change of EOJ provider every five years can affect certain indicators. As of October 1, 2023, new reporting requirements for food service and supplier types resulted in a data break in the statistics on designated home care. Therefore, the figures for 2023 should be compared with previous years with reservations.

Metode efter serviceeftersyn 2022-2023 (pdf) (in Danish only), The purpose of the standardised index of average earnings is to estimate the developments in pay levels for employees in Denmark, adjusted to the extent possible for changes in the labour market’s occupational composition, e.g. shifts of employees between industries and/or occupation. The statistics are used for e.g. monitoring of business cycles, regulation of contracts, analyses of developments in pay levels as well as input in the calculation of the National Accounts., The statistics have been prepared since 2018 with data back to the first quarter of 2016. A revised index and time series are published in May 2023 with data back from 2016., In parallel, Statistics Denmark is calculating the implicit index of average earnings. Unlike the standardised index, the implicit index of average earnings does not take changes in the occupational composition into account., Statistical presentation, The standardised index of average earnings is a quarterly estimate of the developments in pay levels for employees in Denmark, adjusted to the extent possible for changes in the occupational composition, e.g. shifts of employees between industries and/or occupation. The statistics show the development in the average hourly earnings for employees by sector, industry (DB07) and main occupation (DISCO-08). Each quarter, an index value and an annual increase are published., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for these statistics are collected quarterly. For the public sector all payroll information are collected while data are collected via a sample from the private sector. The collected data is validated at an aggregate level for key enterprises (only in the private sector) and at an individual level through a combination of validation rules for the hourly earnings for the individual employment relationship. The hourly earnings are assessed based on sector, industry, main occupation and type of employment. Once data has been validated, base index is calculated for each homogeneous group, which afterwards is aggregated to sub- and total indices at sector, industry or main occupation level., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for private enterprises and organisations, as well as ministries and other public institutions for analysis, contractual regulation etc. The statistical data are also used in other areas within Statistics Denmark, e.g the calculation of the Danish National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The accuracy of these statistics are higher for employees in the public sector than in the private sector. The reason for this is that the statistics for employees in the public sector (more or less) consists of all payroll information, while the statistics for employees in the public sector is based on a sample of enterprises. The accuracy of the statistics for the private sector is therefore affected by sampling uncertainty, completeness of the reported information and non-response. The impact on the indices are unknown., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published two months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released typically without delay according to scheduled dates of publication. , In February 2022, the statistics were paused and a comprehensive service review was initiated. As a result, the method for calculating standardized index of average earnings was revised. This publication therefore contains revised index values and annual increases for the entire period from the first quarter of 2016 until the first quarter of 2023. This means that the series contains revised values from the first quarter of 2016 until the third quarter of 2021 as well as previously unpublished values from the fourth quarter of 2021 until the first quarter of 2023., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The standardised index of average earnings was first published in December 2018 with a time series starting in the first quarter of 2016. The standardised index of average earnings utilize the same data as the implicit index of average earnings, which however has a different purpose and is therefore calculated using a different method. There exist a few sets of statistics abroad that are partly comparable with the standardised index of average earnings. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published quarterly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

Experimental statistics

Experimental statistics are statistics that are in development, so that methods and sources may change in the process towards the final form of the statistics based on experiences, e.g. in the form of feedback from users. , In what ways do they differ from Statistics Denmark’s usual statistics? , In general, any statistics published by Statistics Denmark are official statistics. However, experimental statistics are not regarded as official statistics until they have been thoroughly tested to the point where they obtain a permanent form and a new status as official statistics. , It appears from the individual sets of statistics whether they have experimental status. The statistical documentation explains specifically what the experimental status of the individual set of statistics involves. It could be e.g. that the methods are not quite thoroughly tested, that new data sources are being tested, or that in its preliminary form, it only covers part of the intended area. , Which experimental statistics does Statistics Denmark publish? , Experimental statistics are gradually being developed to meet the demand of users. This page presents an overview of these, but in general, the individual sets of statistics can be found under the relevant subject pages or subjects in Statbank Denmark. , Is the uncertainty higher, and should you take special precautions when using it? , Limitations and reservations vary between the different sets of statistics and appear from the statistical documentation for each set of statistics. , Why does Statistics Denmark publish experimental statistics? , The purpose of experimental statistics is to respond to user requests for timely indicators of the development of society. Using more and more new sources and methods, we can create timely statistics in areas where the official and quality-checked statistics often have a time lag of months or perhaps years. Publishing the statistics in a preliminary form allows us to get feedback from the users, before we have found the final form, and thus gives us a more relevant product. At the same time, it gives the users an opportunity to become familiar with the statistics. , For instance, the experimental statistics could be a key indicator of a phenomenon that we describe through official statistics (e.g. Statistics Denmark developed a number of experimental statistics as indicators of the development of Covid-19). In other contexts, indicators can be official statistics, e.g. Consumer expectations.,  , Statistics Denmark's experimental statistics, Here you can find an overview of the experimental statistics that Statistics Denmark currently produces.

The results of the study are used, among other things, for the Danish Energy Agency's annual energy statistics and the Ministry of the Environment's assessment of emissions from wood stoves in Denmark. The study is based on a survey sent to a sample of households in Denmark. The study is conducted every two years, and reports dating back to 2009 can be found on the Danish Energy Agency's website. Statistics Denmark carried out the current study in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency., Statistical presentation, The statistics calculate the number of homes and holiday homes that are entirely or partially heated by wood stoves, etc., and the proportion these homes represent of the total housing stock. Additionally, the total consumption of firewood, etc., corresponding to the year 2023 is calculated. The results are presented as totals and broken down by geography, primary heat sources, wood stove types, and housing types., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The firewood survey is a sample-based survey. The interviews were collected via a web-based questionnaire, with approximately 20,000 responses most recently collected. The selected respondents are scaled to a national level using background information from population and housing statistics registers. The results are adjusted for non-responses, and data is error-checked at both micro and macro levels. During data processing, a limited number of responses are corrected due to inconsistencies or obviously incorrect answers. Household use of firewood, wood briquettes, and wood pellets is converted from physical quantities to total energy consumption based on standard values for energy content., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The survey was developed with support from a working group with representatives from the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, who use the results for calculating energy consumption and particle emissions from wood-burning stoves. Additionally, the statistics are of interest to others concerned with energy and the environment. As the survey is new under Statistics Denmark, there is no experience yet with user satisfaction., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, There will always be errors associated with sample-based and questionnaire-based statistics. The survey framework was reviewed and quality assured before distribution, but it is rare to avoid identifying sources of error afterward. The results of the statistics are compared with previous, relevant studies on wood consumption, etc., and deviations are to be expected due to normal sampling uncertainty, minor differences in data processing, and real changes in the prevalence and consumption patterns regarding heating in private homes and holiday homes., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The survey is conducted every two years, and the publication time is two months from late May to late August. It is not possible to assess punctuality as the statistics are new under Statistics Denmark., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics replace previous versions of the Wood Survey, which, at the initiative of the Danish Energy Agency, has generally been conducted every two years, most recently in 2021., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The plan is for the statistics to be published every other year in the StatBank under the topic , Energy Consumption, with the title , Firewood and Other Biomass for Heating, and in News from Statistics Denmark on Energy Consumption.
