Absence is divided into "Own sickness", "Children's sickness", "Occupational injury" and "Maternity and adoption leave". The statistics are published on a yearly basis and are used for estimating and comparing the level of absence within different groups of employees., Statistical presentation, The statistics of absence are published yearly for the governmental sector, the local governmental sector and the private sector. Statistics according to the new sector definition from 2013 are also published for the labour market as a whole. The absence is grouped by the variables occupation, education, industry, region, age and sex. From 2013 own sickness is published by lengths of period. In the governmental and municipal sector all employees are included while the private sector is described by a representative sample of enterprises with 10 or more employees., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, On a yearly bases information on absence is collected from all of the public sector and from a sample 2600 private enterprises with 10 or more employees. After validating the absence data the periods of absence are connected to the job from which the person was absent. The information about the extent of the employment is found in the earnings statistics. The information on absence from the private sector is enumerated to the total population of enterprises with 10 employees or more., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Absence has both personal and economic consequences that have an impact on both employees, employers and the community. The statistics are tools used in estimating and comparing the level of absence within different groups of employees, and can be a foundation on which economic and political decisions are made. The statistics are of interest for the central government, municipalities and regions, private business enterprises, non-governmental organizations, researchers and news media. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The governmental and local government sector in principle include all employed persons. For these sectors there is immeasurable inaccuracy mainly caused by measuring errors., The private sector is based on a representative sample of about 2600 enterprises. The inaccuracy can be divided into sampling inaccuracy and the immeasurable inaccuracy that derives from measuring errors. The total absence rate for own sickness is determined with a 95 percent confidence interval to vary around +/- 0.05 percent. Sampling errors for divisions on e.g. gender or industry are considerably higher., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics of absence refers to the whole year to which the absence periods belongs The statistics is published on a yearly basis at the end of October following the reference period. The information is published without delay compared to schedule., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics of absence for the central governmental sector covers the year 2003 and forward, while the first data for the local governmental sector was published for the year 2005. The statistics for the private sector covers the period from 2007 and forward. From 2010 the municipality sector and the regional sector are published separately. Before 2010 the two sectors were only published together., The method and quality of data have continuously been improved especially the first years of the statistics. Comparisons between sectors and years (especially the earliest published data) should only be made with reservations., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The latest results are published once a year in a Danish press release, at the same time as tables are updated in the StatBank.

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.

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.

It is primarily used for assessments of economic developments in industry in Denmark., The statistics are part of the EU's common short-term statistics and date back to 1974, but in their current form are comparable from 1985 onwards for most industries., Statistical presentation, The statistics are a monthly statement of the production and turnover index for the industry. The statistics are divided into five groups defined on the basis of the use of goods and services (eg production of durable and non-durable consumer goods) and the main groups mining and quarrying (B), manufacturing (C) and energy supply (D) and 12 main industry groups under main group C, which follow the Danish industry nomenclature DB07. The turnover index is also calculated by dividing a domestic market turnover index and an export turnover index. All figures are published both adjusted for seasonal fluctuations and in actual figures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Every month, information is collected on the value of turnover and stock from a sample of approx. 1,000 industrial companies in Denmark. For most, this is done using online questionnaires, but for about 20 per cent. of the companies, the information can instead be collected from statistical registers. The received data is debugged and production is calculated based on turnover and stock figures. Then the data is weighted so that a production and a turnover index can be calculated that represents the entire manufacturing industry in Denmark. The results are seasonally adjusted to eliminate normal seasonal fluctuations, Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The development of the production and turnover indices are primary used for manufacturing industry business cycle analyses and as input for the national accounts. Various users include industry organisations, public authorities and the news media. Form and content as well as comparisons with other statistics are continuously discussed at manufacturing industry user committee meetings., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, There is some sampling uncertainty as the statistics are based on a sample of companies.

The statistics are used, among other things, to follow the Danish production of slaughter animals and meat in the slaughterhouses. The statistics have a long history and the key figures covering the past 100 years are comparable. During the 1920s and 1930s the statistics were improved and since the Second World War there has been adequate statistics in this area, but is in its present form comparable from 1990 to the year, while the monthly figures are from 1995 onwards., Statistical presentation, The statistics on slaughter animals and meat production are published as monthly and annual statements of slaughtering at slaughterhouses, distributed by cattle, pigs, sheep and lambs, poultry and horses. Information on the number of animals slaughtered and live exported animals as well as the production of meat (amount of edible meat in kg). The statistics also provide data on a wide range of prices and price quotations. Among other things average prices per kg slaughtered weight and sales value in mill.

Data on slaughtering are delivered every month to Euro stat. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, It is mandatory for farmers to report which animals leave the property and where they come. At the same time, it is mandatory for slaughters to register all animals that are slaughtered. In the slaughterhouses, the slaughter weight, the assessment of the carcase, etc. the register of each animal, which includes used to settle the animal. The calculation of prices and values is based both on actual a conto prices and partly on estimates of the anticipated down payment paid by the cooperatives and only realized after the end of the year and can thus cause uncertainty about the accrual., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Data are published 1½ months after the end of the reference period for monthly and quarterly figures, while annual figures are published approx. 4-5 months after the end of the reference period.

The agricultural sales index illustrates price trends for both vegetable and animal sales products and services. A part of the statistics have been calculated since 1956, but since 1970 the most widely definition has been used, which includes horticulture, fur production and products from bees and wild game. , Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation. Some prices are only obtainable as price indices only, especially regarding intermediate consumption. The statistics covers both agriculture and horticulture. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected at different frequencies from multiple sources. The collected data undergoes a simple validation. Once data is validated, aggregation occurs for a portion of data before publication, while other data is while other data is published directly. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are used by agricultural organizations and ministries to monitor price developments within the industry as well as as a basis for various analyzes and forecasts. The basic data and results of the statistics are also applied to other statistical areas in Denmark Statistics, for example, for the calculation of the gross income of agriculture as used in the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the published release times., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are comparable in their current form from 2005 onwards. The price indices are re-based approximately every five years, most recently in 2024 with base year 2020=100, which limits full comparability over long time periods. As of 2025, a new method for collecting fertiliser prices has been introduced, resulting in a data break affecting only the fertiliser price index. The overall price index for agricultural input consumption is still considered comparable over time. The statistics follow common European guidelines and are therefore comparable with similar statistics from other EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release.

Documentation of statistics: Economic Accounts for Agriculture

Contact info, Food Industries, Business Statistics , Simone Thun , +45 51 36 92 51 , sit@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Economic Accounts for Agriculture 2024 , Previous versions, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a macroeconomic accounting system that illustrates the overall economy of the agricultural sector by providing accounts of production, intermediate consumption, gross investment, and other flows. As a satellite account under the European system of national accounts, this statistic represents the agricultural sector’s contribution to the National Accounts. In 2024, the statistic Gross factor income of agriculture was replaced by the Economic accounts for agriculture, which is regulated by an EU regulation. Accounts for Gross factor income of agriculture are available back to 1935, while the Economic accounts for agriculture in its current form are comparable from 1990 onwards., Statistical presentation, The Economic accounts for agriculture is an annual compilation of the agricultural sector’s economic activities, including the value of production (output), intermediate consumption, and gross investments. In addition, subsidies, labour input, and the sale of pesticides and mineral fertilizers are presented in separate, dedicated tables. The economic activities are compiled at basic prices and expressed in million DKK, both at current prices and at previous year’s prices. The statistics are compiled at both national and regional level. The agricultural labour input is measured in thousand annual work units (AWU). Direct subsidies to the agricultural sector are presented in million DKK. The sale of mineral fertilizers is compiled in tonnes., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a composite statistical product, which means that its calculation basis is built on existing statistics, referred to as primary statistics. The statistics are compiled annually using data from a range of different sources, e.g., the Farm Accountancy Data Network and Feed Production Statistics, as well as from administrative registers, industry organizations, companies, and foundations. Once the data in each primary statistic has been processed, it is transferred to and consolidated in the data processing system for the Economic accounts for agriculture, which calculates the annual values. The value of each product is calculated using the standard “quantity times price” method., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Economic accounts for agriculture are relevant for Danish authorities, the EU, research institutions, and agricultural organizations, as they allow monitoring of developments in the economic activities of the agricultural sector. The statistics also serve as input for the compilation of the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The uncertainty in the Economic accounts for agriculture is linked to the uncertainty in the primary statistics used for its compilation. For example, issues such as timing can introduce uncertainty, while other information, such as data from dairies and slaughterhouses, is exact. For preliminary calculations, some estimates are based partly on expert judgment and assumptions until the final data are processed in the primary statistics; therefore, the statistics are considered final only after two years. The sold quantities of mineral fertilizers from the Danish Agency for Green Conversion and the Environment are associated with a certain degree of uncertainty. The data come from the annual collection of sales figures, in which companies with registered products are asked to report the quantities sold of those products. Companies have the option to indicate tax-exempt quantities, but this is voluntary, and not all companies use this option. The data collection does not include self-imports, and some products may be double-counted if a company has not used the option to report a sold quantity as tax-exempt. The data quality is therefore directly dependent on the information provided by the companies to the Agency., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Preliminary figures for the Economic accounts for agriculture are published no later than 10 months after the end of the reference year. Revised, yet still preliminary, figures are published 22 months after the end of the reference year. Final figures are published no later than 2 years and 10 months after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Economic accounts for agriculture replace the Gross Value Added of Agriculture and are published for the first time in 2025 for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are directly comparable with the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, which can be traced back to 1990, while older compilations exist back to 1935. Unlike the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, the Economic accounts for agriculture include changes in farm stocks and livestock in sales values and present sales values at basic prices. In addition, the compilation contains a number of financial accounts that are not included in the Gross Value Added of Agriculture. As a satellite account, the Economic accounts for agriculture are comparable with the National Accounts’ compilations for the agricultural sector., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, .

The statistics create a basis for a number of analyses on demography and society and are used as a basis for planning tasks on a national, regional and municipal level. In their basic form, the statistics have been compiled since 1769 but have undergone a series of changes as society developed and legislation followed. Most of the present table series in Statbank Denmark comprise data from 2007 and forward, while a few of these go back further., Statistical presentation, The population statistics are usually a quarterly aggregation of the population living in Denmark broken down by e.g. sex, age, ancestry, marital status and municipality of residence. In connection with COVID-19, however, the number of deceased persons was aggregated on a weekly basis broken down by date of death, age bracket and province. The population statistics show the population in figures at the reference date in terms of persons, households and families. The statistics also show changes in the population, such as births, deaths and migrations etc., in the period between the two reference dates. Similarly, the statistics contain information about fertility, life expectancy and divorce rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected on a daily basis from the Civil Registration System (CPR) by means of a system-to-system solution. The civil registration number and the updating of residence information and marital status information etc. is required for a vast number of public services, which serves as continuous validation of the content of the register. The number of immigrants, descendants, households, families, marriages and divorces is assessed on the basis of data from the Civil Registration System. It is also used to calculate e.g. fertility rates, life expectancy and divorce rates. In addition, data is applied from the Birth Register and the Cause of Death Register from the Danish Health Data Authority from which data is collected annually., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for municipalities, regions, ministries, other government organisations and private companies in analyses of a number of conditions of society and as a basis for planning of e.g. schools, roads, facilities and services for the elderly etc. Statistics Denmark also uses the basic data and results of the statistics for a vast number of other assessments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on the population registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). Since correct registration in CPR is a condition for being able to lead a normal life in Denmark, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high. Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is considered to be overestimated by 10,000 people or 0.14 per cent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published one and a half months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released without delay according to the scheduled dates of publication. The weekly publication of the number of deaths is released five days after the reference week. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Denmark bases its population statistics on an administrative register, which also applies for a few other countries, whereas many countries take censuses every five or ten years. The population figure for the period 1971 and onwards is based on the same source, i.e. the Civil Registration System (CPR). The population figure from before this period is based on censuses., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish). Figures for the population and its movements are published in Statbank Denmark. In addition, the figures are included in the publications , Befolkningens udvikling, and , Indvandrere i Danmark, (both in Danish with summaries in English).

The consumer price index has been calculated since 1914, but there are estimated figures for the development in consumer prices back to 1872. From January 1967 the index has been calculated on a monthly basis., Statistical presentation, The consumer price index shows the development of prices for goods and services bought by private households in Denmark. Thus, the index also covers foreign households' consumption expenditure in Denmark, but not Danish households' consumption expenditure abroad. The index shows the monthly changes in the costs of buying a fixed basket of goods, the composition of which is made up in accordance with the households' consumption of goods and services. The consumer price indices divided by group of households show the price development for different households. , The price indices for April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020 and January, February, March, April, May and June 2021 are more uncertain than usual, as the non-response rate has been significantly larger than normal and some businesses have been shut down due to COVID-19., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The consumer price index is calculated on the basis of 23,000 prices collected from approx. 1,600 shops, companies and institutions throughout Denmark. Most prices are by far collected monthly. The data material received is examined for errors, both by computer (using the so called HB-method) and manually. The different goods and services, which are included in the consumer price index, are first grouped according to approx. 500 elementary aggregates for which elementary aggregate indices are calculated. The elementary aggregate indices are weighted together into sub-indices that are in turn aggregated into the total consumer price index. In calculating a price index it is assumed that the baskets of goods that are compared are identical, also with respect to the quality of the goods. Mainly indirect quality adjustment methods are being applied in the consumer price index in connection with changes in the sample. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The consumer price index is generally viewed as a reliable statistic based on the views of users., Important users are among others the Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior, The Danish Central Bank and private banks and other financial organizations., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, No calculation has been made of the uncertainty connected with sampling in the consumer price index as the sample is not randomly drawn, but the quality of the consumer price index is accessed to be high., In addition to the "general" uncertainty connected with sampling, there are a number of sources of potential bias in the consumer price index. One source is the consumers substitution between goods and shops and another source is changes in the sample (se chapter regarding "Non-sampling error")., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., The consumer price indices divided by group of households are published twice a year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The consumer price index is related to the European Union harmonized consumer price index (HICP) and to the index of net retail prices. From January 2001, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is the coverage of goods and services, as owner-occupied dwellings is only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. The consumer price index is also related to the index of net retail prices. The two indices comprise the same groups of goods and services and are calculated according to the same methodology. Consequently, the only difference between the two indices is the price concept used, as indirect taxes and VAT are subtracted in the index of net retail prices, and the weighting., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Consumer Price Index, ., 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, . The publications are accompanied by Danish press releases., Read more about accessibility and clarity
