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.

The statistics have been compiled regularly since 1838 covering 1836 and onwards., Statistical presentation, The statistics show Denmark's imports and exports of goods from/to all countries in the world distributed by about 9,300 different commodity codes. The statistics do not cover the External trade of the Faroe Islands and Greenland., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Trade data is collected on monthly basis using the various data sources. The collected data are validated for logical errors and completeness and a credibility check of the reported data is carried out., The collected data are used to compile the trade figures and full coverage of trade is ensured by estimation for missing. There is thus full coverage of International Trade in Goods in the disseminated statistics. , In connection with the release of trade figures some time series are seasonal adjusted and furthermore indices are calculated., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is great interest in the disseminated statistics of External Trade in Goods among users who monitor the Danish economy. The statistics are demanded widely by trade and industry organisations, the bank and finance sector, politicians, public and private institutions, researchers, enterprises, news media, embassies and international organisations. , The statistics is also used for compilation of National Accounts and Balance of Payments Statistics. Furthermore, Eurostat use the statistics to make joint EU trade statistics., The users view the External Trade in Goods Statistics as an important short term indicator, and it often gets a lot of attention in the media and amongst professional users., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The reliability of the final statistics at aggregated level is relatively high. In Extrastat, the reliability at detailed commodity/country levels is also high, while the reliability is comparatively lower in Intrastat due to the margins of uncertainty involved in estimating trade by enterprises exempted from reporting data., However, the first publications of the external figures are subject to some uncertainty, as a relatively high number of errounous data reports cannot be included at the time of publication. Compensation for this is made by estimation and a later correction. The reliability of figures for a given month is greatly increased by later publications of statistics. Similarly, the highest reliability is achieved at aggregated level., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Aggregated statistics for selected countries and country groups and for aggregated commodity groups are published monthly 40 days after the end of the reference period. Detailed statistics are published 70 days after the end of the reference period., The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date, which is announced at least 3 months in advance on Statistics Denmark's website, Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, At overall level, the statistics are comparable across time and with statistics from other countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

The main results are coordinated in the so-called consumer confidence indicator. The Danish surveys have been conducted since 1974. From 1996 data is collected in all 12 months of the year., Statistical presentation, Consumer monthly questions for: financial situation, general economic situation, price trends, unemployment, major purchases and savings. Consumer quarterly questions for: intention to buy a car, purchase or build a home, home improvements., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, This survey are sample surveys, where a representative sample of persons 16-74 years are asked among other things about the consumer expectations. The results are corrected from the effects of non-sampling and non-response and then enumerated so that the figures can directly be classed with the population of adult persons and families in Denmark. Data are validated using logical validation rules. A seasonal pattern could not be identified in the series and no seasonal adjustment was undertaken., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The most important user is the European Commission for Economy and Finances (ECFIN), which receives detailed tables for all questions and publishes seasonally adjusted consumer confidence indicators for all EU member states. The figures are also of great interest to the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As the results are based on a sample survey, they are subject to a certain degree of statistical uncertainty. This depends on both the size of the sample and the number of completed interviews, which vary from survey to survey. With a sample of approximately 1,500 persons and a response rate of about 65%, which has normally been achieved in the last few years, the statistical uncertainty is in 95 pct. of the cases estimated ranged within +/- 3 percentage points. A change in an indicator should be greater than 5 percentage points to indicate a significant change., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, There is no difference between planned and actual release time., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The questions asked in connection with these statistics in Denmark are also asked in the European Commission's Consumer confidence survey '. The European Commission publishes figures for all EU countries in its database. Eurostat's consumer confidence is based on a slightly different composition of questions than the current one in Denmark. Therefore, the overall consumer confidence indicators calculated in Denmark and in Eurostat are not directly comparable, whereas all sub-indicators are directly comparable. The questions shown in the section 2.01. Data description, have been asked in all the omnibus surveys since 1974. Due to minor changes in the calculation method, an immediate comparison is only possible from 2007 onwards. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The results are published in , News from Statistics Denmark, and , Statbank Denmark, . Further, there is a subject page for , Consumer Expectations, ., After each survey, Statistics Denmark submits detailed tables giving a number of background variables as well as the consumer confidence indicator and net figures to the European Commission, which publishes monthly both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted indicator and the net figures for each members state (incl.

Registers and reference types

Statistics Denmark has gathered a vast series of historical register data in our databank of basic data, which users can access via the platform Denmark’s Data Portal. Research Services manages the databank of basic data and handles access to the platform, support, etc. Most registers in the databank are updated at least once a year in connection with release of the register-based statistics (, see Scheduled releases, ). , The data safari and the List of registers and variables (below) both show the registers in Denmark’s Data Portal, and here you can see variables for the individual registers. The documentation of variables is available in Statistics Denmark’s , documentation system, ., Go to Data safari , Go to List of registers and variables (in Danish),  , Overview of rerun registers (in Danish), Genkørte registre 2025-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 2. kvt (pdf) , Genkørte registre 2023 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2022 (pdf),  , Reference types, Registers in the basic data overview are compiled by means of different reference types. Next to each register in the basic data overview, you can see which reference type a register has: ’Status’, ’Statusperiode’ (status period), ’Forløb’ (longitudinal) or ’Hændelse’ (incident)., Status, The reference type shows the status for a given date. For example, LONN (structure of earnings), which shows what a citizen earns as of the register date (e.g. 31 December 2021). Or BEF, which shows the population as of the quarter date (including status of residence, age, family, etc.)., Data definition: Clear status as of a given date. The population delimitation and all data content is focused on the date., Status period, This reference type shows the period status, where the population is delimited as of a given date, but the variables contain summed up data for a specific period. For example, IND, which contains the labour income for a year (the period appears from ’Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency) in the basic data overview). Other examples of status period registers: PERSBEST (board members and managers), MFR (medical birth register), HANDICB (financial support for disability cars), DMRB (motor vehicles). It is not always easy to see what is being summed up., Data definition: The population delimitation is made as of a given date, but the content of the variables is accumulated over a given period. The period cannot be deduced from dates in microdata, but from the indicated period (shown under ‘Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency)) – meaning that content in for example amounts, volumes, quantities etc. is aggregated over the indicated period (e.g. a quarter, a year)., Longitudinal, Here, data covers a longitudinal study. There will always be just one version of the register available. For example, UDD, which contains Highest educational attainment. Or BEFADR, which is an address key register (where e.g. 1.4m addresses changed key on 1 January 2007 in connection with the local government reform). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated. This is why there is always only one dataset for a longitudinal register., Data definition: The definition of longitudinal data is that data contains a start date and an end date., Incident, Here, data covers an incident. For example, UDFK, which contains primary and lower secondary school marks (does not include a date but a school year), or OPHGIN (basis of right of residence for immigrants). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated with new incidents. This is why there is always only one dataset., Data definition: The definition of incidents is first and foremost that data contains a date - only one date - for the occurrence of the incident, and will usually also have one incident type attached., Documentation for the use of registers, Statistics Denmark has prepared a memo describing the coherence between several of the most used registers in Statistics Denmark’s microdata scheme and their connection with the published statistics., The social statistics registers in Statistics Denmark consist of comprehensive data collections, which have been built and extended since the early 1980s. Data is of high quality and comprises the whole population. This gives the users of data unique possibilities of analysis, allowing them to analyse both status at a given point in time and the development over time., The memo is primarily intended for researchers, analysts and other users of microdata who want to obtain deeper insight into the quality of the coherence between the different registers. , Read more on Documentation for the use of registers (in Danish), Especially on the Data Warehouse for Business Statistics, In January 2024, Statistics Denmark launched the new Data Warehouse for Business Statistics – a significant extension and improvement of the existing business registers. , The new warehouse ensures wider and better access to anonymised data on enterprises and facilitates extraction of unique data by linking data across more statistical registers. The data warehouse also facilitates linking of business statistics and social statistics at micro level, the so-called ‘Linked Employer-Employee Data’ (LEED). , Read more in , this brochure (pdf), or see , the presentationen of The Data Warehouse for Business Statistics on 30 November 2023 (pdf), .

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

It consists of a description of the economy as whole and the economic transactions between individuals, companies and institutions. The national accounts also include transactions between Denmark and abroad. The first Danish national accounts date back to the 1930's. Consistent time series of annual national accounts goes back to 1966, while quarterly national accounts are available as of first quarter 1990., Statistical presentation, The National Accounts provide an overview of the activities and developments in the Danish economy. The statistics include figures for economic aggregates such as gross domestic product (GDP), household consumption, government finances, investment, export and import, employment and wages, and profits and productivity in the various industries. In addition, there are figures for the many subdivisions that can illuminate different 'sections' throughout the Danish economy., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Virtually all available economic statistics are applied as data sources when making the national accounts. When the first version for a given period is prepared, it takes place before all information about the period is available. Then the calculations are made on the basis of the structure of the latest final national accounts, which is projected with indicators from, for example, cyclical statistics. When new sources are ready, they are continuously incorporated into the national accounts according to a fixed rhythm. Three years after a given period, the national accounts are considered to be final., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The National Accounts are relevant to anyone involved in economic matters ranging from the economic ministries use of the National Accounts in planning, analysis, forecasting and modeling purposes for industry organizations and other similar organizations, to the general interest in knowledge of the economy’s structure and development. The National Accounts division is evaluating feedback from users at an ongoing basis., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The ability of the National Accounts to describe the economic reality accurately partly depends on the uncertainty associated with the sources and partly on the model assumptions underlying the calculation of the national accounts. Some parts can be calculated more accurately than others, as there is better access to source data. The first versions for a period's national accounts will be more uncertain than the final version, which comes after three years, as new sources are continuously revised., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly national accounts is published 50 days after the end of the quarter. In connection with the publication of the fourth quarter at the end of February, the first version of the annual national accounts is also published. Almost two and a half years after the end of the year, the final annual and quarterly national accounts are published in June. The national accounts are published in a timely manner., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The national accounts are prepared in accordance with international guidelines and will therefore be comparable across countries. The current guidelines were implemented in 2014 and are used to revise the national accounts back to 1966. The national accounts reflect all parts of the economy, so most economic statistics contain figures that have their counterparts in the national accounts. However, be careful to compare figures from the national accounts with other economic statistics, as the transition is often complicated by different definitions and requirements for coverage. However, the national accounts are in full compliance with the balance of payments and government finance statistics., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The National Accounts statistics are published in the StatBank under , Economy, and , National accounts, .

Documentation of statistics: Balance of Payments

Contact info, External Economy, Economic Statistics , Maria José Alvarez Pelaez , +45 30 66 03 21 , MJP@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Balance of Payments 2024 , Previous versions, Balance of Payments 2023, Balance of Payments 2022, Balance of Payments 2021, Balance of Payments 2020, Balance of Payments 2019, Balance of Payments 2018, Balance of Payments 2017, Balance of Payments 2016, Balance of Payments 2015, Balance of Payments 2014, Documents associated with the documentation, Omlægning af tabeller om betalingsbalance og udenrigshandel i Statistikbanken juni 2024 (pdf) (in Danish only), The balance of payments describes the economic transactions between Denmark and the rest of the world. The balance of payments for Denmark has been compiled since 1934, with a continuous time series available since 2005. Today the main emphasis is placed upon incomes and expenses in relation to foreign countries. Originally, the most important item was the foreign debt, which is compiled as part of the International Investment Position (IIP) – Denmark’s external assets and liabilities. Since 1991 the IIP has been compiled by Danmarks Nationalbank. The balance of payments statistics are compiled in cooperation between Danmarks Nationalbank and Statistics Denmark, the latter being responsible for publishing the consolidated statistics. , Statistical presentation, The balance of payments records the value of the economic transactions, which are made within a given period between the Danish balance of payments area and the rest of the world. There are three main accounts: the current account (trade in goods and services, primary and secondary income), the capital account and the financial account (arranging debts and receivables with foreign countries). The statistics shows the geographical distribution (counterpart countries). Danmarks Nationalbank compiles the financial account and the investment income of the balance of payments., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are primarily compiled based on other statistics. The sources are used directly and as a basis for calculations of developments. Validation of the sources mainly occurs during the preparation of other statistics, but special validations are carried out across selected sources to ensure consistency between the sources. The validation particularly targets businesses' international organization of production. The sources are processed so that monthly balance of payments statements can be produced, even if some sources are compiled quarterly or annually. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The publication of the balance of payments, particularly the monthly statement, often attracts significant public interest. The statistics are especially used by ministries, politicians, and economic stakeholders. The balance of payments is also used in the compilation of national accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The compilation of the balance of payment is mainly based on other statistics. Accordingly, the accuracy of the balance of payments statistics is very much dependent upon these statistics. Most importantly, there will be uncertainty associated with the first compilations of a period, as important information only becomes available later. Coverage is high as there is a particular focus on coverage in the largest sources. The biggest source of error is measurement errors in the sources that are survey-based. Ongoing validation is performed, so the accuracy of the first publications is lower as it takes time to resolve the validations. The calculations and model assumptions in the compilation are not considered to affect the overall accuracy of the main items in the balance of payments., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly, approximately 40 days after the end of the reference period. Main results are published monthly, approximately 40 days after the end of the relevant month. The final statistics are published approximately three years after the end of the reference period. Punctuality is exceptionally high. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The compilation of the balance of payments follows the IMF's manual and is compiled back to 2005. There is thus comparability with other countries following the same manual and back to 2005. For the detailed items, there is no comparability with the series before 2005. The statistics on International Trade in Services are directly included in the compilation of the balance of payments. For International Trade in Goods, there are methodological differences, so there is a discrepancy between the two statistics. The balance of payments is part of the national accounts and is directly included as the sector rest of the world in the sector account of the national accounts., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The latest figures are published in a monthly news article "Nyt from Statistics Denmark," and all figures can be found in the Statistics Bank.
