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

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 are used to compile weightings in the Consumer Price Index and for calculation of the private consumption in the National Accounts. The statistics were first compiled in 1897 and annually since 1994., Statistical presentation, The Household budget survey is an annual statement of the detailed private consumption at household level for private households in Denmark. The survey covers private households in Denmark. The household budget survey provides a detailed breakdown of consumption. In the most detailed breakdown, consumption is divided into approx. 1,200 different consumption types., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The survey is based on a sample where the number of households accounts for about 2,200 out of Denmark's total of approximately 2.8 million households. , The survey included data from three different data sources: Accounting booklets, CAPI interviews and data from registers. In this way the sample can give results which are good approximations for all private households. The data from the 3 different sources are validated. We are constantly looking at how we can improve and compile the statistic in a more efficient way., Data is collected annually from approximately 1,100 households and the sample for one years household budget survey is based on the sample from two years. All expenses, income, etc. are converted to the price and volume level of the end year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, In addition to the general public the Household Budget Survey has a wide application. Internally in Statistics Denmark during the compilation of national accounts and price indexation. Public authorities' planning and feasibility studies, etc. Internationally, where especially EUROSTAT is very active in order to establish comparable figures between countries. Research in a number of areas, as well as for marketing purposes., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, With only 12 pct. of the households who have been contacted participating in the Household Budget Survey. This creates uncertainty, not least for detailed consumer groups. For total consumption, this means that there is an uncertainty margin of +/- 1.8 per cent. while that for that for bread is 2 per cent. and 24 per cent. for a rarely purchased item such as offal. There is underreporting in a number of areas such as alcohol, tobacco, prostitution and undeclared work. The uncertainty is greater when data is based on accounting rather than interviews, and it will be greater if one looks at smaller subgroups of households., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approximately12 months after the end of the reference year. The statistics are usually published according to the time announced. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Household Budget Survey is carried out in accordance with guidelines from the European Statistical Office, Eurostat. Comparable figures are published by Eurostat. Since 1994, the survey has been methodologically redesigned, so it is now conducted annually using the same method and on a comparable basis., Data for the period 2014 to 2022 were based on a two-year sample and the ECOICOP nomenclature. To ensure comparability over time, data for 1994 to 2013 were recalculated according to this nomenclature in both current and constant prices., From 2023, COICOP2018 has been implemented in the Household Budget Survey as the survey has become subject to a regulation. Therefore, data for 2015–2022 have been recalculated in current and constant prices according to COICOP2018 to ensure continuity., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The Danish Household Budget Survey is published in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

    Do we, as a society, benefit enough from our data?

    For 40 years, Statistics Denmark has made data available to society in a secure way. The return is high and diverse when data is used for research, analysis and as the backdrop to important decisions in society. But should we – as a society – be satisfied with the present opportunities when the benefits could be even greater?, 9 June 2023 8:00 ,  , Today, it is registered when you see a doctor and buy medicine at the pharmacy. It is reported when you get paid, who pays it and which car you drive. You are part of the statistics when you go to the cinema and when you play badminton in your spare time. Data is also collected when you rent a holiday home, when you shop online, and when you use electricity, water and heating., Data is playing an ever greater role in all respects, and data is generated and collected in constantly new fields. The digitisation from end to end of all sorts of things generate data about all Danes every day – as citizens, as users (of public service), as businesses and as customers., The chief question in a data-driven world is then what is going to happen with all the data that is generated?  Who should be able to access it, for what, and how should the access to data be granted now and in the future?, A key element of democracy, Perhaps you worry what the vast amount of data can be used for.  That’s understandable. Therefore, it is important that your data and society’s data is treated with the necessary confidentiality in a secure environment that does not allow the individual citizen or business to be identified. Safeguarding this is one of our core competences., Statistics Denmark is a child of democracy and was established as an independent statistical agency in 1850 – the year after Denmark’s democratic constitution was passed. Then as now, reliable official statistics are a key element of a democratic Denmark. Statistics Denmark complies with the common European rules on, e.g., professional independence, impartiality, confidentiality, reliability and accessibility. As a citizen, you can rest assured that data about you will not fall into the wrong hands, once it is behind our safety barriers., Over the past 40 years, we have made public data available to Danish society – especially for research and analysis, so that the immense knowledge that lies in data can benefit society. We have access to all public registers thus ensuring that there is public and democratic access through us to the information that public authorities collect as part of our welfare society., Denmark’s Data Portal, Statistics Denmark has a dual responsibility, which we take very seriously. On the one hand, we are obliged to take good care of data – on the other hand, we have a duty to share it, so that it may create value. We have come up with good solutions to this dilemma., In 2022, we took the first step towards what we call Denmark’s Data Portal. The portal will make it even easier for researchers and analysts to use our data, and in the future, it will be possible to provide access to more data than that which is part of our current statistical production. Obviously, in a way that maintains data confidentiality., The benefit to society is manifold: Stronger research, better policy development, evidence-based practices, greater knowledge and better decision-making at all levels of society. The more data we include, the greater the potential benefit to society., More data on society should benefit the community, There is also an increasing amount of privately held data. Data created by private businesses as part of their efforts to service and understand their users and customers even better. The businesses register when products are scanned at the supermarket, and the banks know where and when we use our credit cards. It is also registered when we use our travel cards or drive through the tollbooth at the Great Belt Bridge or the Oresund Bridge. And much, much more. All of it data that can also be used – if handled securely – for statistics and analysis to the benefit of all of us, and not just to the advantage of the businesses and organisations collecting it., Shortly before the pandemic, Statistics Denmark was granted access to electricity meter data from Energinet, which is an independent public company running Denmark’s energy infrastructure. Access to this data enabled us to conclude, for instance, that there were no signs of any significant decline in the level of activity in Danish industry in spite of the pandemic. An important and reassuring piece of information that we would not have been able to provide that quickly without the electricity meter data. And a very good example of how Statistics Denmark’s access to data from private suppliers benefits society and our common knowledge., We believe that all kinds of data created in Danish society about Danish society and citizens of Danish society should benefit society – and we are happy to be of service in that context., Common access, In international statistical circles, there is currently talk of the need to establish national data stewards. It is necessary to ensure common access to using society’s data – both public and private – for the common good. This is a role that Statistics Denmark has held and developed over many years when it comes to data from the public sector. At the moment, we are developing this role further with Denmark’s Data Portal., However, there is huge potential for creating further value for society, a value that will grow as the Data Portal gradually includes more data. Not just data from the public sector, but also data created in the private sector that can safely be made available to society based on the virtues and obligations that rest with us as the official national statistical authority., Our imagination is the only limit to the potential gain to society.
