    Sanction rules

    It is important that you familiarise yourself with and comply with Statistics Denmark’s transfer and data security rules. If you do not comply with the rules, you risk suspension of you or your entire institution with Statistics Denmark. Read about our sanction rules and case processing in case of data breach., Users of Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines are responsible for complying with our transfer and data security rules. This means that you, as a user, are responsible for: , Your work on the researcher machines being compliant with Statistics Denmark’s data security rules. , Read more under Rules for working with microdata,  , Transferring analysis results and materials in compliance with Statistics Denmark’s transfer rules. , Read more under Rules on transfer of analysis results,  , Notifying , Denmark’s Data Portal immediately if you realise that you have failed to comply with Statistics Denmark’s data security or transfer rules., For more details, read Statistics Denmark’s guideline material:, Rules for data safety under the microdata schemes (pdf), Breach of the rules? This is how you handle it, If you have broken Statistics Denmark’s rules or suspect that you have, you have a duty of notification. Complying with the duty of notification in relation to breach will be considered a mitigating circumstance., Please notify both the person responsible for authorisation in your institution and Denmark’s Data Portal; the latter by sending an email to , FSEHjemtag@dst.dk, with the following: , Your ident and the authorisation number of the institution you are associated with, Project number, if any, A description of the breach or where you suspect a breach, Date and time of the breach , If the breach involves files, for example files you have transferred, image files on your computer, in your mail box or similar, you must delete them immediately from your PC, DDP App, mail folders etc. and inform about this in your email to Denmark’s Data Portal.,  , Statistics Denmark’s sanction rules, If there is a breach of Statistics Denmark’s transfer rules or data security rules, Statistics Denmark can sanction users and, worst-case-scenario, entire institutions. Statistics Denmark’s sanction rules will be deployed if: , A user breaks the rules for working with microdata on Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines, for example by taking a screendump or transcribing from the researcher machine, , or, A user has transferred data with microdata, for example transferred a file with pseudonymised key variables from BOPIKOM, Note, : An isolated breach of the rules of statistical disclosure control will not result in sanctions. In case of repeated non-compliance, however, it can result in sanctions for the institution., Sanctions in case of breach - Assessment of severity and scope, Statistics Denmark makes decisions about sanctions. We distinguish between less severe and severe breaches: , Less severe breaches, : Thoughtless action or accident – for example identification in connection with troubleshooting, Severe breaches, : Conscious action – for example conscious attempt to identify individuals or enterprises in data , Statistics Denmark decides whether a breach is categorised as less severe or severe. In the assessment of the severity of a breach, we take the following into account:, Was it a thoughtless or conscious action?, Has the user detected the breach himself, and if so, observed his duty of notification?, In connection with transfer, : How large a volume of microdata has the user transferred?, In connection with transfer, : Has the transfer tool in DDP App been used for the transfer, and if so, has the user ignored the transfer module’s warning? , In case of isolated, less severe breaches, the sanction will target the user and the project where the breach has happened. This means that the project where the breach took place will be temporarily closed for everybody and the user’s access temporarily closed, so that he or she cannot access his or her projects. In case of severe or repeated breaches, i.e. where breaches have previously been registered on the institution number, the sanctions will be more rigorous. See the overview of sanctions below., Note, : If Statistics Denmark has previously registered a breach for an institution, breaches dating back more than 2 years will not be taken into consideration. This means that any new breaches will be handled as first-time-breaches., Overview of sanctions , Sanction system for the researcher scheme,  , Sanction against user and project, Access is closed for user and access to the project is closed , Sanction against institution, Access is closed for all users and access to all projects is closed , Occurrence, First time, Second time, in 2 years, Third time, in 2 years, Fourth time, in 2 years, Less severe , breach, Until report can be approved*, 1-month suspension*, 3-month suspension*, Concrete, assessment*, Potential termination of the institution’s authorisation agreement, Severe breach, 3-month suspension*, 3-month suspension*, Potential termination of the institution’s authorisation agreement and/or specific user agreement, 6-month suspension*, Concrete evaluation of the institution’s authorisation agreement and potential termination of the institution’s authorisation agreement*, Sanction system for the authority scheme,  , Sanction against user , Access is closed for user , Sanction against scheme, Access is closed for users of the scheme, Occurrence, First time, Second time , in 2 years, Third time , in 2 years, Fourth time , in 2 years, Less severe , breach, Until report can be approved*, 1-month suspension, 1-month suspension, Concrete assessment, Potential termination of authorisation agreement, Severe breach, 3-month suspension, 3-month suspension, Potential termination of authorisation agreement and/or user agreement, 3-month suspension, 6-month suspension, Potential termination of authorisation agreement, * When Statistics Denmark detects a breach that comes under the sanction rules, the user and the project where the breach occurred will be temporarily suspended, until Statistics Denmark has processed the case and made a decision. This applies regardless if it is an isolated breach or repeated breaches within two years. , Statistics Denmark makes a decision based on a report and a plan that must be presented to Statistics Denmark by the institution with which the user is associated. Statistics Denmark will not commence the processing of the case, until we have received an adequate report and plan. Statistics Denmark estimates whether the report and plan of an institution is adequate or should be rewritten.  , You can read more about Statistics Denmark’s case processing and the requirements to the report and the plan under ”Statistics Denmark’s case processing in connection with breach of rules - guide”.,  , Statistics Denmark’s case processing in connection with breach of rules - guide, When Statistics Denmark receives a notification, or we find out ourselves that a user has not complied with Statistics Denmark’s data security and transfer rules, the user in question and the project where the breach has taken place will be temporarily suspended. The suspension lasts until Statistics Denmark has received an adequate report about the incident and a plan for prevention of similar breaches in future, and Statistics Denmark has processed and decided the case., The case processing step-by-step , The process takes place in the following steps:, Step: Presentation and demand for report and plan, When Denmark’s Data Portal receives a notification, or find out themselves that a user has not complied with Statistics Denmark’s rules, the user in question and the person responsible for authorisation in the institution will be notified by email., Denmark’s Data Portal informs about the date of the suspension of the project and of the user in question, and they will request an adequate report about the incident and the scope of the breach as well as an adequate plan for preventing similar breaches in future. Both the report and the plan must be completed in the standard template provided by Denmark’s Data Portal., The person responsible for authorisation in the institution is responsible for the report and the plan being prepared and sent to Denmark’s Data Portal., Presentation and plan – demand for “adequacy”, With the demand for adequacy, Denmark’s Data Portal asks for an adequate report about the incident and the scope of the breach. By an adequate plan is meant a report and any documentation for appropriate technical, organisational and/or staff-related measures the institution has implemented in the light of the breach. The plan can consist of e.g.:, A brief account of the current rules and practice in the institution that may be relevant for the case, A presentation of what the institution has done in connection with the breach, for example, which consequences it has had for the user, A plan for what the institution is going to do to prevent similar breaches in future, It is important that it is not statements of intent. This means that the institution must account for the initiatives that they have already implemented or will implement, and describe the process behind it. Examples could be:, Has the person responsible for authorisation held a meeting with relevant stakeholders in the institution about the breach? (Indicate: Who? When? Which proposals/decisions were made?). Attach any resolution minutes., Has the person responsible for authorisation made proposals or suggested solutions to a relevant committee, the executive board, the governing body or similar? (Indicate: Who? When? What is/was on the agenda? What was decided?). Attach the agenda and/or resolution minutes., Has a decision been made in the institution to enhance for example the communication, instructional materials, code of conduct or similar? (What? How? When? Who is the target group?)., Has the institution adopted or made any other efforts to prevent similar breaches in future? (What? How? When? Who is the target group?)., If Denmark’s Data Portal estimates that the report, plan or both are inadequate, Statistics Denmark will notify you about it and request a new one., Step: The case processing in Statistics Denmark, When Statistics Denmark estimates that the report and plan we have received are adequate, Denmark’s Data Portal will prepare the case for Statistics Denmark’s Supervisory Board and Director General. You can expect the case processing to take approximately 8 working days from we receive the adequate report until we send our decision., Step: Decision, When Statistics Denmark has made a decision of the case, we send a decision letter by email to the person responsible for authorisation. The letter contains the final decision from Statistics Denmark’s Director General, including the reason for the decision and information on whether the temporary suspension of the project and the user is lifted or whether further sanctions are imposed on the user or the institution., Guides, agreements and documents in relation to data security and responsibility, Statistics Denmark’s data security rules under the Microdata schemes, Rules for data safety under the microdata schemes (pdf), Statistics Denmark’s information security and data confidentiality policy , Information security and data confidentiality policy – Statistics Denmark, Agreements (in Danish), Autorisationsaftale (pdf), Databehandleraftale (pdf), Tilknytningsaftale (pdf), Brugeraftale (pdf)

(LFS) 2015 Month 01, The Monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS) 2014 Month 12, The Monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS) Month 11, The purpose of the Monthly Labour Force Survey is to shed light on current developments in employment and unemployment in the labour market. The statistics are used primarily for economic monitoring and provide rapid, high-frequency indicators that supplement the quarterly and annual Labour Force Survey. The Monthly Labour Force Survey was first published in October 2013, has since been recalculated and, in its current form, is comparable from January 2008 onwards., Statistical presentation, The monthly labor force survey sheds light on the 15-74-year-old population's attachment to the labor market. Here, the population is divided into two main groups, namely people in the labor force and people outside the labor force. Persons in the labor force are further divided into two groups: employed and unemployed (LFS unemployed). Monthly figures are published for the unemployment rate, employment rate and the economic activity rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The monthly Labour Force Survey is based on sample with interviews and the figures are weighted with administrative resources. Due to the smaller sample size, the calibration of the weights is carried out using slightly more aggregated data than the quarterly LFS. The sample is weighted to represent the population as it was at the end of the previous quarter. Following the calibration, the series are benchmarked to their quarterly counterpart and seasonally adjusted. , The figures for the labour market status in December 2024 are partly based on information from administrative registers., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The monthly LFS supplements the quarterly LFS. Due to the smaller sample size in the monthly LFS, only aggregated series on the unemployment rate, employment rate and labour market participation rate are published.. The monthly results give a quick on going update on the development in the employment and unemployment. The monthly results are used by different users e.g. ministries, international organizations and journalists, but mainly by Eurostat., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As a result of the smaller sample size and the lack of persons overlapping over between months the quality is lower in the monthly results compared to the quarterly results. This means that only selected key numbers on employment and unemployment are published. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The Monthly Labour Force Survey is published at the end of the following month from the reference month. The survey is published without any delays in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, In Eurostat's database the Monthly LFS exists back to 1983. This series, however, has a starting point in January 2008. This constitutes a break in series, which must be taken into consideration if long time series are constructed. Data is delivered to the Statistical Office of the European Union Eurostat monthly, where data for all EU countries can be found. Concerning this, one has to be aware of the methodological differences in producing the monthly data in all the EU countries ., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The Monthly LFS is published in the table , AKU111M, : Labour force status in percentage by seasonally adjustment and employment status , The difference between the two unemployment figures is described here , Unemployment concepts, ., Data is every month and every quarter delivered to the Statistical Office of the European Union, , Eurostat, , where data for all EU countries can be found., Read more about accessibility and clarity

WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE, NO MICRO DATA, Statistics Denmark is not allowed to provide individual pieces of information about persons, families, households or enterprises. For this reason, services will usually be provided as a table or set of summarised data. , REGISTERS, Statistics Denmark can combine data from many different registers by correlating data from CPR about persons, CVR about enterprises or BBR about properties. , STATISTICAL DATA PERIOD, If you want to correlate several statistical registers, different statistical data periods may cause that some persons/enterprises in one register cannot be matched with the content of another register. , STATISTICAL METHODS, Different statistical methods may also imply that a few persons/enterprises included in one register may not be included in another register. The income statistics, for example, are delimited to include taxpayers. Accordingly, if a person is not a taxpayer, this person is not registered in these statistics. The same person may easily be found in other registers, e.g. in the educational register. , QUALITY, Statistics Denmark makes a point of providing tables and data of a quality that we can vouch for. For this reason, Statistics Denmark may decline to provide a service, if we consider that the data quality, dropout or data construction does not provide a sufficiently well-founded assessment of reality. ,  , 2. CLARIFICATION PHASE, SUBMIT REQUEST , If you want to receive a quotation from us for delivery of statistics, click the link below and fill in the form. This allows us to find the right consultant for the further process:, Request a quotation, If you want to order an update of previously delivered services, click the link below and fill in this form:, Request update of a former delivery, The completed form will help clarify questions such as:, Do we have the requested data?, Can we delimit data in the way that you request?, Are there any matching problems between registers?, Do special circumstances exist concerning data, which may involve constraints?, Do we need to take measures regarding statistical disclosure control to eliminate the risk of disclosing information on a single individual statistical unit?, When the statistics were last updated?, By when do you need the data?,  , 3. DELIMITATION OF POPULATION, TOTAL POPULATION , The total population will often be a population that is comparable with published, free-of-charge figures at , www.statbank.dk, , such as the population of a municipality. , DELIMITED POPULATION, Based on selected variables in the register, we determine how we are going to delimit the population. This could be e.g. persons aged 16-29 in employment. , YOUR OWN POPULATION, We can delimit the population on the basis of civil registration numbers (CPR), central business register numbers (CVR) or addresses that you have provided us with, which we can then match with the requested registers. Note that you are not allowed to provide us with your own population without prior agreement, since data must be encrypted when submitted and we must make a data processor agreement. , COMPARABILITY WITH PUBLISHED STATISTICS, When we provide services, to the extent possible, we check data against other published sets of statistics and document to which of Statbank Denmark’s sets of statistics you can make comparisons. If we are unable to compare or check data against the published statistics, e.g. if extraction is made from your own population, this is noted in the documentation. ,  , 4. VARIABLES, TIDSSERIER , At , www.statbank.dk, you will be able to find tables displaying the most widely used variables in our many registers. Please note that many registers/variables are not comparable over time. This is because changes may occur in the sets of values for various variables (e.g. in groupings from e.g. ages 0-5 and 6-10 to ages 0-4 and 5-9), or there may be changes in the method of assessment for the statistics, e.g. changes in the definitions of certain variables. If changes have occurred in Statbank Denmark tables that make it difficult to compare data over time, two tables will be displayed, each with their separate time series, instead of one table. , STANDARD GROUPINGS , It is possible to do both: use standard grouping of variable values and make your own groupings. You can find help for standard groupings by looking at the different nomenclatures here: , https://www.dst.dk/en/Statistik/dokumentation/nomenklaturer, TABLE SIZES , Consider whether you want one table crossing all variables, or whether you could use several small tables. If you want one big table crossing many variables, it may be necessary to apply statistical disclosure control, which often makes the requested service more costly and data less useful. ,  , 5. PRICE AND QUOTATION, THE QUOTATION, When the requested service has been clarified, we prepare a quotation, which is usually open for a month. It is no problem for us to change the quotation during the process, but we do make reservations with respect to increasing the price if we need to spend time adjusting the quotation., TIME-RELATED CHARGE, We calculate the price of a service based on the total time spent on the service., The time spent consists in e.g.:, Clarifying the scope of the requested service, as we need to close the gap between your ideas and the data , Preparing a quotation and contract, if relevant, and/or data processor agreement , Programming, including linking between registers, applying statistical disclosure control as well as test and validation of data. , Setting up tables in Excel and preparing documentation ,  , The hourly rate for services is , DKK 1,476 excl. VAT (DKK 1,845 incl. VAT), . , You can read more about the basis of the calculation of the hourly rates for services under prices and pricing policy. , BUDGET FOR THE SERVICE, We are very interested in hearing your expectations to price and, if relevant, the budget that you anticipate, as early in the process as possible, as this can help us optimise the time we spend. , INITIAL SURVEY, If we estimate that it will take more than one hour to clarify the requested service (including table definition and price calculations), we offer to make an initial survey. A preliminary survey can ensure that you do not place an order for a major service project, which later proves to be useless. Before we agree on an initial survey, we are typically able to make a not binding estimate of how much the final service is going to cost. , FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT, If a service is difficult to estimate in terms of time or to define, we offer to create a framework agreement. In case of a framework agreement, we agree on a framework for a certain number of hours, but you only pay for the time we actually spend performing the service. A framework agreement provides more room in the process for clarification and changes of definitions, but we cannot guarantee how much we can accomplish within the agreed number of hours. , FIXED-PRICE CONTRACT, If a service is well-defined, we can make a fixed-price contract, in which we agree on a price as well as which aggregated tables we provide at the given price. ,  , 6. DATA SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY, We greatly emphasize the protection of personal data as well as data on enterprises. For this reason, we do not provide statistics involving a risk that individuals or individual households or enterprises can be identified. For further information about this, read our Data confidentiality policy., Statistics Denmark reserves the right to apply statistical disclosure control to datasets to the extent deemed necessary., WHEN DO WE APPLY STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE CONTROL?, We must apply statistical disclosure control if:, the tables are highly detailed and it is possible to identify individuals or enterprises, you want to break down on variables included in your submitted datasets, which have been used to delimit the population (e.g. types of customers). In this case, we typically require a minimum of 30 or 50 units in each cell, HOW DO WE APPLY STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE CONTROL?, There are several methods of statistical disclosure control and it is agreed in collaboration with the customer which method we use. We typically select one the following options:, Automatic aggregation of categories of variables to an aggregate category named “statistical disclosure control” until the statistical disclosure control requirement has been met., Manual aggregation of categories of variables until the statistical disclosure control requirement has been met. This solution is somewhat more time-consuming and consequently involves higher costs., The value in the cell is set for “statistical disclosure control” if the number of observations is too low. With this solution, all categories of variables are maintained, but you can no longer use the sums in the table.,  , 7. COMMISION, You commission a service when you accept the quotation from Statistics Denmark in writing. , CONTRACT FOR SERVICES , Statistics Denmark prepares a contract for all services above DKK 25,000 excl. VAT or services on special terms. ,  , 8. CREATION OF DATA AND DOCUMENTATION, In principle, we create data based on the definitions we have established together. In practice, questions will emerge along the way, to which we will find a solution together. This means that it is necessary that you are available and able to respond to any clarifying questions within reasonable time while we work on the service. , DOCUMENTATION , We deliver the service to you along with documentation describing the registers, variables, population, any data breaks and how we have carried out the actual service. , Documentation of variables is available at , www.dst.dk/dokumentation, Documentation of registers is available at , www.dst.dk/varedeklarationer,  , 9. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT, We endeavour to execute minor services within 1-3 weeks. For major service projects, the delivery time varies. The delivery time depends on the number of services that we are contractually committed to complete, and the scope of the service. Especially during the holiday season or in periods where new data is released, the delivery time may be long. , FORMATS, We usually deliver the tables in Excel, but also offer to deliver in other formats., Large tables can be delivered as Excel pivot tables or in PC-Axis. In this way, you can extract parts of the table and analyse a subset of data. Large tables are typically unsuitable as frozen tables in Excel. Delivery of data in PC-Axis format is more costly., We can deliver summarised data as e.g. SAS, SPSS, semicolon separated file or other flat file., INVOICING, When we have delivered the service, we will invoice you. The time for payment is 30 days. We reserve the right to sub-invoice services stretching over a long period of time., SUBSEQUENT ADVISORY SERVICES, Within the first month after delivery, we offer up to 15 minutes of advisory services/help to understand and interpret data. For major services, we incorporate subsequent consulting services in the contract., We offer further consulting by special arrangement and settled by separate payment at the current hourly rate. We will notify you when the included time has been spent., ERRORS IN THE DELIVERY, If within 30 days, you or we become aware of errors in the registers, or if we have made a programming error in the service provided, we deliver new data as soon as possible., We are very interested in knowing about errors, small or large, or any inexpediencies in the statistics, so that we can check and, if relevant, correct the content in customised services as well as in the registers. It is only rarely possible for us to immediately correct errors in the underlying registers, but we do anything we can for it to happen as soon as possible.,  , 10. GENERAL TERMS FOR SERVICES, You will find the general terms for services here: , General terms and conditions of agreements, If you want to e.g. pass on the customised set of statistics to a third party, or publish data directly on a website in raw form, this must be incorporated in the contract. , 11. SUBMISSION OF DATA, If the service requires that you submit personal data to us, you must enter into a data processor agreement with us before you submit data., For security reasons, you are not allowed to submit personal data via regular email. You must use one the following options:, If your organisation has secure, encrypted FTP access, you may use this to submit data to consulting@dst.dk for the attention of your contact in DST Consulting stated in the email., If your organisation has tunnel access, you may use this to send an email with attached information directly to your contact person in DST Consulting., You can download a safety certificate from the website and submit data via encrypted email based on the contact person that is created. Then you can submit data via email to consulting@dst.dk for the attention of the customer’s contact person in DST Consulting., You can email the contact person in DST Consulting and submit data by attaching it as a password protected zip file, provided that you transmit the password via another channel – e.g. via text message or telephone,  , 12. DATA STORAGE, STORAGE OF SUBMITTED DATA, To facilitate subsequent consulting services, we generally store personal data for three years after delivery of the service. If you want us to store data for a longer period, this must be indicated in the data processor agreement. You can find further information about this under , data processing, . , STORAGE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION, For accounting reasons, Statistics Denmark stores contact information you have provided for you and your enterprise/organisation. Further information about the processing and storage is available in our , Privacy policy for the handling of personal data at DST Consulting, . ,

    Statistics Denmark's compliance with GDPR

    Statistics Denmark’s compliance with GDPR, Statistics Denmark guarantees to protect data in our possession about citizens and companies. This means e.g. that the data is safeguarded and that it is used by Statistics Denmark for the sole purpose of statistics. Statistics Denmark has a strong focus on compliance with the data protection rules set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Danish Data Protection Act. The data protection rules apply when we process data about natural persons. The concept of “natural person” also includes sole proprietorships (businesses owned by one individual). This is because there is no practical way of distinguishing between data about the owner as an individual and data about the business., Personal data in statistics, Since 1850, Statistics Denmark has been a key to understanding Danish society. To produce the best possible statistics, we have access to data from administrative registers in public administration. Furthermore, we have a statutory authority to collect data from public authorities, the business sector and private individuals., We organise the data in databases for the statistical domains for which the data is required. This means that data about a person or a business are not all gathered in one place. The statistical basis relies on data about people and businesses. Statistics are aggregate data about groups of people or businesses from which facts about individual units cannot be identified. Before we publish a set of statistics, we make sure that it is not possible to disclose data about identifiable natural or legal persons by means of the statistics., Our Data Security Policy gives a detailed description of how Statistics Denmark ensures confidentiality regarding statistical data, while our Information Security Policy deals with security in general in Statistics Denmark. Our policies are available here., In a number of situations, Statistics Denmark acts as a data processor for a data controller. In order for data controllers to fulfil their obligations to supervise Statistics Denmark, Statistics Denmark each year commissions four external ISAE 3000 audit reports. The reports cover Statistics Denmark’s statistical production in general as well as that of three offices engaged in data for customers. These three offices are Denmark's Data Portal (data for research in a secure environment), Consulting (customised statistics) and Survey (data collection). The audit reports provide assurance for the data controller that Statistics Denmark processes the personal data for which the controller is responsible in a proper manner. The data controller can obtain an audit report by contacting us at , databeskyttelse@dst.dk, ., Below is the answer to a number of questions that you may be curious about as a person registered in our statistics., 1. Who is the data controller and how do I get in touch?, Statistics Denmark is data controller of the processing made in connection with collection, production, development and dissemination of statistics. This means that we have responsibilities and obligations pursuant to the data protection rules regarding the personal data we have collected about you., Statistics Denmark has the following contact information:, Statistics Denmark, Sankt Kjelds Plads 11, 2100 Copenhagen, dst@dst.dk, CVR – 17150413, Phone +45 39 17 39 17, If you need to include sensitive or confidential personal data in your enquiry, we encourage you to send your enquiry to us via Digital Post. To do so, log in at Digital Post and select Statistics Denmark as receiver from the list of government agencies. You can also send us a letter., 2. How do I contact the data protection officer (DPO)?, Statistics Denmark has appointed a DPO who gives us advice e.g. on how to process data about you properly and in compliance with data protection rules regarding personal data., You can contact our data protection officer (DPO) at , databeskyttelse@dst.dk, or tel. +45 39 17 39 95., If you need to include sensitive or confidential personal data in your enquiry, we encourage you to send your enquiry to us via Digital Post. To do so, log in at Digital Post and select Statistics Denmark as receiver from the list of government agencies. You can also send us a letter., 3. Why does Statistics Denmark process data about me?, Statistics Denmark processes data about you for the purpose of producing and disseminating statistics on Danish society – either as part of official statistics or on request and as part of a task of importance to society., In addition, we make pseudonymised data available for carrying out statistical or scientific surveys of importance to society. We are only allowed to disclose data for statistical or scientific purposes. The data may not be used for any other purpose, e.g. administrative, legal or tax purposes, or for decisions aimed at you., However, there are situations in which national law obliges Statistics Denmark to disclose data for administrative purposes. This is the case for the AUB’s statistics on FTE employees with vocational training in connection with calculation of the work placement dependent AUB contribution, and for the Public Benefits Administration’s assessment of length of service, which is necessary for calculating the right to early retirement, the so-called ‘Arne pension’., 4, What is the statutory basis for processing data about me?, Statistics Denmark processes personal data in compliance with the provisions in Act on Statistics Denmark, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Danish Data Protection Act., The legal basis for Statistics Denmark’s processing of personal data for statistical purposes is article 6(1)(e), article 9(2)(j), article 10 of the GDPR and sections 10 and 11(1) of the Danish Data Protection Act., In cases where Statistics Denmark discloses data for the purpose of production by others of statistical or scientific surveys of significant importance to society, ministerial order no. 1509 of 18 December 2019 on disclosure of personal data under section 10(1) and (2) of the Danish Data Protection Act also applies., Statistics Denmark’s obligation to disclose data for the purpose of the AUB’s statistics on FTE employees with vocational training is laid down in section 2 of the ministerial order no. 233 of 22 March 2018 (on AUB’s education register for statistics on FTE employees with vocational training, which is used to calculate employers’ contribution to the work placement programme)., Statistics Denmark’s obligation to disclose data to the Public Benefits Administration for the purpose of assessing length of service is laid down in section 12 of act no. 2202 of 29 December 2020 (act to amend the act on social pension and various other acts (implementation of a right to early retirement))., 5. Where does the data about me come from?, Statistics Denmark collects personal data through:, Public registers, Statistics Denmark is charged with producing, developing and disseminating statistics in Denmark to focus on matters of public interest. This is why Act on Statistics Denmark gives us authority to collect data from public registers. For example, Statistics Denmark receives data from the Civil Registration System, the Ministry of the Interior and Health, the Danish Motor Vehicle Agency’s motor vehicle register, and the Danish Tax Agency’s eIncome register., Reports from public authorities and institutions and economic operators, Act on Statistics Denmark gives us the authority to instruct public authorities and institutions to inform us of the data they have in their possession., The Act further gives us the authority to instruct economic operators to impart specific data with us that they have in their possession. In sections 8-12 of the Act, you can read about the data concerned., Voluntary interview surveys, Furthermore, Statistics Denmark communicates with private individuals in order to collect data. When Statistics Denmark contacts private individuals, their participation is always voluntary. The Labour Force Survey is an example of a survey in which we ask private individuals to participate. We randomly select the people whom we invite to participate. Such responses are of great value, as they form the basis of statistics of great significance to society., 6. What categories of personal data about me does Statistics Denmark process?, Statistics Denmark collects the following categories of personal data for the purpose of producing statistics:, general data – e.g. ownership of property, data about unemployment, or data about your marital status, , special categories of data – e.g. contact with the psychiatric treatment system, , data relating to criminal convictions and offences – e.g. data about a sentence registered in the central register of criminal offences, as well as , data about your civil registration number. , 7. To whom does Statistics Denmark disclose personal data, and who has access to the personal data?, Employees of Statistics Denmark producing statistics and with a work related requirement have access to personal data related to the relevant set of statistics to be produced. The employee only has access for the period of time that is necessary for producing the statistics. None of Statistics Denmark’s employees has access to all pieces of data about you., Statistics Denmark may disclose data about you to others who produce statistical or scientific surveys of significant importance to society. By default, data will be pseudonymised, i.e. data may be combined with other sets of data, but individuals will not be immediately identifiable. Consequently, no one working with pseudonymised data will know that data about you are part of the set of data. Only in exceptional cases will we disclose the data in a format that allows the data to be immediately traced to you., Statistics Denmark may disclose data about you to others who produce statistical or scientific surveys. This happens via the researcher programme, the authority programme and the law model programme, where the data is pseudonymised to prevent it from being traceable to identifiable individuals. In addition, Statistics Denmark makes personal data available via data warehouse programmes, where data is aggregated or pseudonymised before it is displayed., ’DST Survey’ is a division under Statistics Denmark that collects data via interviews and questionnaires on behalf of customers. These results are disclosed as pseudonymised data to the customer who is responsible for the data collection. Before you start an interview or respond to a questionnaire, you are informed on whose behalf the survey is made and for what purpose the data will be used., When we no longer need to store data about you, it may be transferred to the national archives, Rigsarkivet, in accordance with the statutory rules on archives., 8. Does Statistics Denmark disclose data about me to a third country?, Statistics Denmark discloses data to the official statistics authorities in Greenland and in the Faroe Islands., The data for the statistical authority of Greenland is about the highest educational attainment of people residing in Greenland. The disclosure happens for the purpose of the Greenlandic statistical authority’s production of statistics. The disclosure is based on general provisions on the protection of data adopted by the European Commission describing the required and appropriate safeguards., The data for the statistical authority in the Faroe Islands is about persons residing in the Faroe Islands and the Faroese residing in Denmark regarding their education, employment, income and health.  The disclosure happens for the purpose of the Faroese statistical authority’s production of statistics. The disclosure happens on the basis of the EU Commission’s adequacy decision. This means that the EU Commission has assessed that the level of protection with regard to personal data in the Faroe Islands corresponds to the level of data protection in the EU/EEA., 9. For how long does Statistics Denmark store the data?, Data that we collect for the purpose of producing statistics are not deleted. This is so because we must be able to produce statistics showing developments and changes over time. The data is stored for production of time series., 10. What rights do I have?, In the case of Statistics Denmark’s processing of personal data about you for statistical purposes, you cannot assert your right of access, to rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability (right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format)., This is due to article 89(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation stipulating that the individual countries may provide opt-outs for the rights of those registered when it comes to processing for statistical purposes. Section 22(5) of the Data Protection Act stipulates that articles 15 (right of access), 16 (right to rectification), 18 (right to restriction of processing) and 21 (right to objection) of the regulation do not apply if the data is processed solely for scientific or statistical purposes., Article 17 of the regulation regarding the right to erasure does not apply to the extent that the processing is necessary for statistical purposes, cf. article 17(3)(d)., Likewise, the right to data portability in article 20 of the regulation does not apply in Statistics Denmark, as the right can only be asserted when the processing is made automatically and is based on consent or a contract. Statistics Denmark’s processing is in pursuance of article 6(1)(e) on the performance of a task in the public interest or falling within the exercise of public authority imposed on the data controller, in which case the right to data portability is thus not applicable., 11. Do I have complaint options?, If you believe that Statistics Denmark’s processing of personal data about you is not carried out in compliance with the data protection rules, you have an option to file a complaint to the Danish Data Protection Agency., You can read more about this on , the Danish Data Protection Agency’s website, , or contact them at +45 33 19 32 00.

    Analyses: Extensive Danish Trade and Investment Relations with the United States

    Photo: Colourbox, Denmark has significant trade and investment relations with foreign countries, including the USA. However, trade and investment relations with the USA cannot be reduced to a single figure. Various sources are needed to understand how the economies are integrated, including statistics on external trade, investment income, investments, and affiliates. At the same time, it is important to be aware of the blind spots that arise in a bilateral analysis when the supply of goods and services between countries occurs through affiliates in third countries., This analysis compiles statistics on Danish trade and investment relations with the USA and delves into the interpretation of these statistics. The analysis has been produced by Statistics Denmark and Danmarks Nationalbank., [note 1], 10 March 2025, By Stefan Gottschalck Anbro, Alina Grecu, Mathias Busk Tjørnum and Robert Wederkinck, [note 2], Main conclusions:, The USA is Denmark's largest export market and the country from which Denmark has the highest investment income., In 2024, 18 per cent of Danish export revenue and 21 per cent of Danish investment income came from the USA. Goods exports accounted for 68 per cent of Denmark's total exports to the USA., Danish exports to the USA are characterized by international organization of the production., Traditionally, goods exports are seen as products manufactured in the export country and then transported and sold in the import country. However, this is not the typical case for Danish goods exports to the USA. In 2024, 75 per cent of Danish goods exports to the USA did not cross the Danish border. The majority of this type of Danish export consists of goods sold abroad in connection with processing abroad., Imports from the USA are dominated by services., In 2024, Danish service imports from the USA amounted to DKK 135.2 billion, equivalent to 71 per cent of total imports from the USA. Imports of services from the USA accounted for 17 per cent of Denmark's total service imports., The USA is the country in which Denmark invests the most and at the same time the country that invests the most in Denmark., Danish investments in the USA were equivalent to 94 per cent of Danish GDP in Q3 2024, while USA's investments in Denmark were equivalent to 74 per cent of Danish BNP., Many Danish affiliates in the USA., In 2023, there were more than 950 Danish-controlled affiliates in the USA, employing 91,000 people. The USA is therefore among the countries where Danish companies have established the most foreign affiliates., The USA owns a significant number of subsidiaries in Denmark., In 2022, there were 1,100 American subsidiaries in Denmark, employing just over 40,700 people., American employees in Denmark., In Denmark, there were 2,600 full-time international employees with American citizenship in 2023., Get as pdf, Extensive Danish Trade and Investment Relations with the United States (pdf), The significance of the USA for Danish exports and investment income has increased, The Danish trade and investment relations with the USA are primarily reflected in the balance of payments and the international investment position. Denmark's economic transactions with the USA are part of the current account of the balance of payments, which is divided into imports, exports, primary income, and secondary income. Primary income mainly consists of investment income from investments in securities and foreign affiliates. Investments are reflected in the capital account. This analysis sheds light on these different aspects., The significance of the USA for Danish exports and investment income has been substantial and has been increasing for several years. In 2024, the export of goods and services to the USA accounted for 18 per cent of Denmark's total exports, whereas in 2015, it constituted 11 per cent, cf. Figure 1. By comparison, exports to the second-largest export market, Germany, accounted for 12 per cent in 2024., In 2024, investment income from the USA accounted for 21 per cent of Denmark's total investment income revenues. The share of investment income from the USA out of the total investment income has shown an increasing trend over the past ten years, despite declines in 2020 and 2021. Thus, investment income from the USA accounted for 17 per cent of total investment income in 2015., Figure 1. USA's share of total exports and investment income, 2015-2024, Source. , www.statbank.dk/bbq, and customized data extraction from Statistics Denmark., The Danish export to the USA in 2024 was dominated by goods, cf. Figure 2. Denmark exported a total of DKK 366.4 billion to the USA, of which DKK 248.6 billion was export of goods, equivalent to 68 per cent. Service export amounted to DKK 117.8 billion. Conversely, services accounted for the majority of imports from the USA. In 2024, Denmark imported for DKK 189.1 billion from the USA, of which service imports accounted for 72 per cent with DKK 135.2 billion., Figure 2. Denmark's external trade with the USA, 2024, Source. , www.statbank.dk/bbq, ., The balance of payments figures for trade in goods and services above only include direct trade between Danish and foreign residents., [note 3], However, trade in goods and services can also take place via affiliates abroad. This is not included in the figures for trade in goods and services, cf. Box 1., Box 1. Trade and income - two aspects of Denmark's economic relations with foreign countries , Economic relations between countries take various forms., Firstly, countries can trade goods and services directly. This occurs, for example, when a Danish company sells a good or a service directly to a foreign company. This trade is included in the balance of payments as trade in goods and services., Secondly, a country can sell goods and services to another country through affiliates abroad. This is the case, for example, when a Danish company establishes an affiliate in another country and allows this affiliate to produce goods that it owns and subsequently sells. If these activities generate a profit in the foreign affiliate, this profit will be recorded in the balance of payments as part of Denmark's investment income., To obtain a comprehensive picture of the economic relations between two countries, it is therefore not sufficient to look solely at statistics on trade in goods and services. Investment income should also be included in the overall analysis., However, a blind spot arises if an affiliate in another country sells goods or services to a third country. For example, this could be a Danish affiliate in Canada selling goods to the USA. A profit in the Canadian affiliate will result in Danish investment income from Canada, thereby leading to an underestimation of the economic relationship with the USA. The same blind spot applies on the import side when Denmark purchases goods or services from other countries' affiliates abroad, including those of the USA. For example, several American tech companies have their headquarters in Ireland, and their sales to Danish residents are therefore recorded as imports from Ireland, not the USA., Export of goods that do not cross the border has increased significantly, Diving into merchandise trade, a distinction can be made between goods that cross the Danish border and goods that do not. Trade in goods that do not cross the Danish border is primarily related to Danish companies' production abroad, cf. Box 2. The share of goods exports to the USA that do not cross the Danish border has increased significantly over the years, driven by globalization and a growing trend towards international organization of the production., In 2024, exports to the USA of goods that do not cross the Danish border amounted to DKK 185.2 billion, corresponding to 75 per cent of the total value of goods exports to the USA. This represents an increase from 47 per cent in 2015. A comparison with exports of goods to other foreign countries shows that goods that do not cross the Danish border play a particularly prominent role in exports to the USA. In 2024, goods that do not cross the Danish border accounted for 12 per cent of the total value of goods exports to the rest of the world., Box 2. Goods that do not cross the Danish border , Trade in goods can be divided into goods that cross the Danish border and goods that do not cross the Danish border. Goods that do not cross the Danish border consist of goods traded in connection with processing abroad, merchanting goods, and Danish purchases of provisions and fuel abroad., Trade in connection with processing abroad covers cases where Danish companies have goods processed abroad while retaining ownership of the goods. In this context, purchases of raw materials and semi-finished products abroad and sales of processed products without bringing them back to Denmark are included in the statistics as goods that do not cross the Danish border. For example, a Danish company may purchase raw materials in the United States and have them processed by an American company , e.g. an American affiliate, after which the Danish company sells the finished product to an American end customer., Merchanting consists partly of pure trading activities, e.g. goods which are bought and resold without the Danish intermediary being involved in the production of the goods. In addition, merchanting includes goods traded by so-called factoryless goods producers. A factoryless goods producer is characterised by having a partner produce goods without owning the raw materials during the production process. However, the factoryless goods producer still controls the production, for example by providing intellectual property rights for production. In practice, this could involve a Danish company having goods produced by a partner in Canada. Once production is complete, the Danish company buys the finished goods from its partner, which are then resold to an end customer, for example, in the United States. Whether it concerns pure trading activities or goods traded by factoryless goods producers, special conditions apply to the statistical treatment of merchanting goods. In the intermediary's country, merchanting is recorded as net exports (sales value - purchase value), while imports in the purchasing country are recorded at their full value (equivalent to the sales value). Furthermore, imports in the purchasing country are typically recorded as imports from the country of dispatch rather than as imports from the intermediary's country., The part of merchandise trade that crosses the Danish border can be classified into detailed product groups. The largest product group in exports to the USA of goods that cross the Danish border in 2024 was , chemicals and related products (including pharmaceutical products), with a value of DKK 21.5 billion, cf. Figure 3. This corresponds to 34 per cent of the total exports to the USA of goods that cross the Danish border. The second-largest product group was , machinery (excl. transport equipment), , with a value of DKK 19.6 billion. In imports from the USA of goods that cross the Danish border, the largest product group in 2024 , was mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials, , with a value of DKK 14.9 billion., Figure 3. Trade in goods crossing the Danish border, USA as partner country. 2024, Source. , www.statbank.dk/uhq, ., The part of merchandise trade that does not cross the Danish border is recorded without details about the type of goods. Figure 4 shows the distribution of exports and imports to/from the USA by broad categories., In the export of , goods, to the USA that do not cross the Danish border, , goods sold abroad in connection with processing, accounted for the largest share, with a value of DKK 175.2 billion, corresponding to 95 per cent of this type of trade. As part of the production of Danish , goods sold abroad in connection with processing, , , manufacturing services, are purchased. Measured by the purchase of , manufacturing services, , a significant portion of the total volume of , goods sold abroad in connection with processing, is produced in the USA. In 2024, the total Danish import of , manufacturing services, amounted to DKK 24.5 billion, of which imports of , manufacturing services, from the USA accounted for DKK 10.1 billion., In imports from the USA of goods that do not cross the Danish border, , goods procured in ports by carriers (i.e. bunkering and provisions), represented the largest group. , Goods procured in ports by carriers (i.e. bunkering and provisions), covers Danish ships' purchases of fuel and provisions abroad. In 2024, imports of goods procured in ports by carriers (i.e. bunkering and provisions) from the USA amounted to DKK 10.3 billion, corresponding to 74 per cent of the total import of goods that do not cross the Danish border., Figure 4. Trade in goods that do not cross the Danish border, USA as partner country, 2024., Source. , www.statbank.dk/uhq, ., Danish service exports to the USA are dominated by sea transport, Denmark's export of services to the USA in 2024 was dominated by , sea transport, , cf. Figure 5. Denmark exported sea transport services worth DKK 49.9 billion to the USA, accounting for 42 per cent of the total export of services to the USA in 2024. The second-largest service category in exports to the USA was , charges for the use of intellectual property, , making up 24 per cent of total service exports., The import of services from the USA in 2024 was dominated by , other business services, , valued at DKK 64.1 billion, corresponding to 47 per cent of the total service import from the USA. Other business services include, among other things, , professional and management consulting services, , , advertising, , , market research and public opinion polling, , as well as , research and development services, ., Figure 5. Trade in services, USA as partner country, 2024, Source. , www.statbank.dk/uhq, ., Growing investment relations with the USA, Denmark has a high degree of financial integration with foreign countries, with large and growing investments across borders. A persistent current account surplus has contributed to Denmark's investments abroad exceeding foreign investments in Denmark, thereby accumulating a significant net international investment position for Denmark. Total Danish investments abroad correspond to 384 per cent of Danish GDP in the third quarter of 2024, while foreign investments in Denmark correspond to 325 per cent., A significant portion of Danish investments abroad is placed in the USA. Danish investments in the USA have nearly doubled from constituting 53 per cent of Danish GDP in the fourth quarter of 2015 to constituting 94 per cent in the third quarter of 2024, cf. Figure 6. Similarly, American investments in Denmark have increased from constituting 43 to 74 per cent of Danish GDP during the same period., Figure 6. Investments between Denmark and the USA as share of Danish GDP. Q4 2015 - Q3 2024, Note: The figures cover the Danish international investment position with the USA and include all forms of investments in companies, listed shares, bonds, etc. American portfolio investments in Denmark, such as stocks and bonds, are calculated using the IMF's data (CPIS) on portfolio asset holdings between countries. The figures for 2015-2023 represent the holdings in the fourth quarter, while the holdings for 2024 are in the third quarter., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank, IMF, Statistics Denmark and own calculations., The USA is the country in which Denmark invests the most, and at the same time, it is the country that invests the most in Denmark. In the third quarter of 2024, a quarter of all Danish investments abroad were placed in the USA, cf. Figure 7. Investments in the USA are more than twice as large as investments in Great Britain and Germany respectively, which are the countries with the second-largest volume of Danish investments abroad after the USA., As regards foreign investments in Denmark, the USA is also the country with the most investments in Denmark. In the third quarter of 2024, one in five Danish Kroner that foreign investors have invested in Denmark came from the USA., Figure 7. Danish investments abroad and foreign investments in Denmark. Q3 2024, Note: Denmark's international investment position in the third quarter of 2024. The international investment position consists of assets and liabilities from direct investments, portfolio investments, as well as other investments such as loans and deposits. The highlighted countries represent the three countries with the largest assets and liabilities towards Denmark. The counterparty country is recorded according to the first counterparty country. American portfolio investments in Denmark, such as stocks and bonds, are calculated using IMF data (CPIS) on portfolio asset holdings between countries., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank, IMF and own calculations., Significant income from investments in the USA, In 2024, Denmark received a total investment income from its investments in the USA amounting to DKK 69 billion, cf. Figure 8. Nearly half of the investment income came from American companies owned by Danish non-financial companies. A quarter of the investment income came from interest and dividend payments to Danish wealth managers in the insurance and pension sector as well as investment funds. The USA also receives investment income from investments in Denmark. This primarily concerns profits and dividends from Danish non-financial companies., When the investment income from American investments in Denmark is excluded from the Danish investment income derived from investments in the USA, Denmark achieves a net wealth income of DKK 39 billion in 2024. The positive net income from the USA can be attributed to the substantially greater volume of Danish investments in the USA compared to the American investments in Denmark., Figure 8. Danish investment income from the USA and investment income (expenditures) to the USA's investments in Denmark. 2024, Note.: The column on the left shows Danish sectors' income from investments in the USA, while the column on the right shows the USA's income from investments in Danish sectors. The graph covers the entirety of 2024. The income includes dividends, interest payments, and earnings from a foreign subsidiary that have not yet been distributed (reinvested earnings). The income does not include capital gains or losses. Data for the insurance and pension sector has not been looked through, so some investments in investment funds are ultimately owned by the insurance and pension sector. The income from American portfolio investments in Denmark, such as stocks and bonds, is calculated using IMF data (CPIS) on holdings of portfolio assets between countries., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank, IMF and own calculations., Doubling of portfolio investments over ten years, Investments can be divided into portfolio investments, direct investments, and other investments, which primarily cover loans and deposits. Portfolio investments are investments across national borders in bonds and stocks of companies, where the investor does not have controlling influence in the company., Portfolio investments are concentrated in stocks. Danish investors have investments in foreign stocks totaling DKK 3,850 billion, equivalent to 130 per cent of Danish GDP in the fourth quarter of 2024. Denmark has investments of DKK 1,900 billion in American stocks, which accounts for half of the total investments in foreign stocks, cf. Figure 9., Portfolio investments between Denmark and the USA have doubled over the past ten years, measured as a share of Danish GDP. In 2015, Denmark had investments equivalent to 38 per cent of Danish GDP in American stocks and bonds. In 2024, this figure has risen to 74 per cent of Danish GDP. American investments in Denmark have also nearly doubled from 36 per cent of Danish GDP in 2015 to 59 per cent in 2024., Figure 9. Danish investments in the USA and American investments in Denmark by investment type. Q3 2024, Note: Denmark's international investment position with the USA is accounted for in the third quarter of 2024, broken down by types of investments. Stocks and bonds constitute portfolio investments. American portfolio investments in Denmark, such as stocks and bonds, are calculated using IMF data (CPIS) on holdings of portfolio assets between countries. Stocks include both shares (listed and unlisted) and mutual fund certificates. Other investments cover financial derivatives, reserve assets, and other investments, etc., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank, IMF and own calculations., It is primarily Danish pension companies and investment funds that invest in American stocks, cf. Figure 10. During 2024, Danish investors purchased foreign stocks totaling DKK 222 billion, of which approximately 38 per cent were American. The large investments in American stocks expose Danish investors to currency risk in dollars, which is largely hedged. By the end of 2024, the Danish insurance and pension sector had hedged 65 per cent of their currency risk from dollar exposures. Investment funds do not hedge their stock investments to the same extent., Foreigners also have significant investments in Danish stocks - a total of DKK 3,422 billion, equivalent to 116 per cent of GDP. Most of the investments are in Danish listed C25 stocks, of which about 62 per cent are owned by foreigners. The foreign stock holdings are particularly concentrated in large pharmaceutical companies such as Novo Nordisk and in other major international companies like DSV, Pandora, and Carlsberg. Nearly half of the foreign holdings of Danish stocks are owned directly from the USA., Figure 10. Danish ownership of American stocks and American ownership of Danish stocks. Q4 2024, Note: Denmark's holdings of American stocks distributed across the Danish holding sector, as well as the USA's holdings of Danish stocks divided by the Danish sector in which the USA has invested. The holdings are reported for the fourth quarter of 2024 and include listed and unlisted stocks as well as investment fund shares. American stock investments in Denmark are calculated using the IMF's data (CPIS) on holdings of portfolio assets between countries., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank, IMF and own calculations., Growing direct investments in American subsidiaries, Direct investments are companies' investments in foreign subsidiaries, cf. Box 3. Danish direct investments abroad are distributed across relatively few countries and are particularly concentrated in the countries with which Denmark trade the most. This primarily concerns the USA and our immediate European neighboring countries. Over the past ten years, Danish direct investments in the USA have increased by 267 per cent, while American investments in Denmark have risen by 185 per cent., The USA is the country in which Denmark makes the most direct investments, and at the same time, it is the country that makes the most direct investments in Denmark. Overall, the Danish industry accounts for about 59 per cent of Danish direct investments in the USA, where a significant portion of the investments comes from the pharmaceutical and machinery industries. The five Danish companies with the most direct investments account for 45 per cent of the total direct investments., Direct investments in the USA can, among other things, stimulate local real economic activity in the form of production and employment. Danish subsidiaries in the USA thus employ a significant number of employees in the USA, just as American subsidiaries do in Denmark., Figure 11. Denmark's direct investments in the USA and the USA's direct investments in Denmark. Q3 2024, Note: The column on the left shows Danish direct investments in the USA broken down by the Danish sector making the investments. The column on the right shows which Danish sectors the USA makes direct investments in. The figures are reported based on the first counterparty country for the third quarter of 2024., Source. Danmarks Nationalbank., Box 3. Direct investments between Denmark and abroad , Direct investments are investments across national borders, characterized by the investor having a significant influence on the decisions of the company in which they are invested. Internationally, direct investments are defined as investments in foreign companies and subsidiaries, where the investor holds at least 10 per cent of the equity or voting rights in the company. Most direct investments are made by groups that own 100 per cent of the company in which they invest. Direct investments typically have a longer horizon and are often made with the aim of establishing a lasting economic connection between the investor and the company., The purpose of direct investments can include creating value-added through active ownership, for example, if the investor has expertise in developing the business. Investments can also be made with the aim of acquiring and gaining access to, for instance, distribution networks, customer bases, intellectual competencies, or patents. In this analysis, direct investments are reported as in the capital account based on the first investor country, i.e., the first country that receives the investment from Denmark, or the country that transfers the investment to Denmark. Foreign direct investments in Denmark often pass through one or more transit countries before reaching Denmark. This is partly due to complicated ownership structures, where investments from the country of origin are made through holding companies, often based in countries such as Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Ireland., The complexity of companies' global organization can make it difficult to identify where in the world economic activity is taking place, and which countries ultimately bear the risk and receive the returns from the investment. Therefore, investments are reported not only by the first counterparty country but also by the ultimate investor country, where ownership structures are examined, and the country from which the investments are controlled is identified. This statistical report shows, similar to the report on the first investor country, that the USA clearly is the country that ultimately invests the most in Denmark., Increased activity in subsidiaries in the USA, Many companies in Denmark have already established foreign affiliates, and in 2023, the USA was among the top five countries with the most Danish-controlled affiliates, cf. Box 4. In total, there were 15,000 foreign affiliates, employing 1.7 million people, of which 950 companies and 91,000 employees were located in the USA, cf. Figure 12. From 2022 to 2023, the number of employees in Danish-controlled affiliates in the USA increased by over 4,000 employees, corresponding to a growth of 5 per cent. Over the past decade, the number of employees in affiliates in USA has grown by more than 50 per cent., Figure 12. Number of foreign affiliates and employees in the USA over time. 2013-2023, Source. , www.statbank.dk/ofats4, When looking at the distribution of employees in the Danish controlled affiliates across U.S. states, there was in 2023 employment activity in 42 out of 50 states, cf. Figure 13. The activity in five states: New Jersey, California, New York, North Carolina and Maryland accounted for 48.000 employees, corresponding to more than 50 per cent of all employees in Danish-controlled affiliates in the USA. This may partly be linked to the overall economic activity in these states., Figure 13. Number of employees in Danish-controlled affiliates by U.S. states. 2023, Note: Statistics Denmark collected data on the registration addresses of subsidiaries in the USA in 2023 using various sources and registers. The registration address and the workplace address may not necessarily be the same. There are no employees in states North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Arkansas, West Virginia, Main, Alaska and Hawaii. States Alaska and Hawaii are not shown on the map., Source. , www.statbank.dk/ofats4, and customized data extraction from Statistics Denmark., Box 4. What is a Danish controlled foreign affiliate? , The data on foreign affiliates includes subsidiaries (as well as underlying sub-subsidiaries, etc.) and branches located outside Denmark that are controlled by a Danish parent company for all or part of the period. The parent company is considered to have control if it directly or indirectly owns more than 50 per cent of the voting rights or has controlling influence., The data basis for the statistics on Danish companies' affiliates in the USA includes all Danish-registered companies with one or more subsidiaries under their control in the USA. This means that the statistics also cover Danish-registered companies that are ultimately owned from abroad. By linking information from the register-based statistics on foreign-owned firms in Denmark, it is possible to identify which companies are ultimately owned from Denmark., In 2022, there were 13,000 foreign-owned companies in Denmark, employing just under 350,000 full-time equivalent employees. There were slightly over 1,100 American subsidiaries in Denmark in 2022, cf. Figure 14. These companies employed just over 40,700 people in Denmark, accounting for 12 per cent of all foreign business activity in the country., Figure 14. Number of foreign-owned companies in Denmark and their employees measured in full-time equivalents. 2019-2022, Note: Employees measured in full-time equivalents., Source. , www.statbank.dk/ifatsf20, International employees from the USA in Denmark, In Denmark, there were 2,600 full-time international employees with American citizenship aged 18-64 in 2023., [note 4], This corresponds to 1.3 per cent of the total number of 200,000 full-time international employ-ees in Denmark in 2023 - and 0.1 per cent of all full-time employees in Denmark (2.4 million)., International employees include immigrants who are not Danish citizens and have resided in Denmark for a maximum of ten years, or do not have a residence in Denmark, cf. the Danish , DST Analysis , Flere internationale lønmodtagere på det danske arbejdsmarked, ., [note 5], International employees from the USA were primarily employed in activities such as , higher education, (11 per cent), , information technology service activities, (9 per cent), , pharmaceuticals, (6 per cent), , business consultancy activities, (5 per cent), and , manufacture of toys and other manufacturing, (5 per cent), cf. Figure 15., Figure 15.

    Analysis

    Prices and price agreements

    The price of a Denmark's Data Portal's assignment is based on the time it takes to solve the part elements of the assignment. We have two types of price agreements: , fixed-price agreements and framework agreements, . You can also commission a combined fixed-price and framework agreement. Furthermore, you will be paying rent for disk space for active projects on Statistics Denmark’s servers. If you have your own-hosted server set up at Statistics Denmark, you must pay for the set-up and for routine maintenance., Table 1: Hourly rate and renting of disk space, Hourly rate for private institutions, DKK 2,299 excl. VAT, Hourly rate for public institutions*, DKK 1,674 excl. VAT (after deduction of the special contribution from the Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation via the coordinating organ for register research, KOR)., Renting of disk space, DKK 16 excl.

VAT per 5 Gigabyte (GB) disk space per quarter, Note that for project databases, the price for data packages is 17.600 kr. excl. VAT (public institutions)/ 22.000 kr. excl. VAT (private institutions), thus 4 times the price of projects under the researcher scheme or subprojects. , *For public authorised institutions, a special contribution is given towards the hourly rate from the Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation via KOR., Denmark's Data Portal offers paid-for services to users of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes. Initially, we offer consultancy in connection with questions for clarification of an assignment. For this, we invoice the actual time used at the hourly rate in force at any time. This also applies should you decide to not proceed with the assignment. If we subsequently enter into a specific fixed-price agreement for the assignment, the service and consultancy will be included in this (within reason)., Fixed-price agreements and framework agreements, Both fixed-price agreements and framework agreements are based on the time it takes to process and deliver an assignment. The time is charged by the hourly rate in force at any time. Denmark's Data Portal uses standardised prices based on the average estimated time consumption for a given service assignment., Fixed-price contract, The price is determined based on an estimated time consumption for a given service. With a fixed-price agreement, you thus pay the same price for comparable services., Further on the structure of fixed-price agreements, The price of a fixed-price agreement is based on one or more of the following assignment elements. The below table shows the various elements of the assignment, which are charged on the basis of fixed-price agreements and associated time consumption., Assignment element, Time consumption, Project proposal (processing and approval hereof), 2, Extraction of one data set from register, 1.05, Extraction of two data sets from register*, 1.09, No additional time charge in case of data extraction from register <= 15 variables,  0, Additional time charge in case of data extraction from register > 15 variables,  0.5, *The price increases with 0,047 hours pr. dataset, Further, the assignment price consists of a fixed extra charge for additional services and consultancy of 20 per cent of the price of the assignment part elements, which are not necessarily in direct contact with you. Such part elements are, for example, participation in meetings etc., internal documentation, documentation requirements, invoicing etc., Data extraction from registers include time consumption for e.g. programming, pseudonymisation and control of data extractions from , Denmark's Data Portal's databank of basic data, . The fixed price agreement may also include time consumption for processing and pseudonymisation of a population submitted to Denmark's Data Portal from other sources than the Denmark's Data Portal's databank of basic data., Framework agreements, The price is variable and the service is charged according to the actual time consumption on the specific service. We invoice every hour of work commenced. If we have used less than one hour on an individual assignment, we invoice for the first hour of work commenced., Further on the structure of framework agreements, The following assignments, Denmark's Data Portal carries out based on a framework agreement:, Population creation as well as case control populations. The service covers counselling regarding the extraction description as well as the subsequent population creation. , Data from statistical division or Survey in Statistics Denmark. This is charged via a framework agreement based on the actual time consumption. The service includes, for example, data extraction from register in the statistical division, pseudonymisation and direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication., Data submitted from sources outside Statistics Denmark. This is charged via a framework agreement based on the actual time consumption. The service includes control and pseudonymisation of the submitted data. See estimated time consumption and prices for delivery of submitted data under , Linking other data, .,  , Part elements of an assignment, The total price of a given assignment depends on the time it takes to solve the assignment and the part elements involved. For that reason, the price may vary from one assignment to the next. For example, the price depends on how many registers that are required to create a population, or from how many registers the project requires extraction of data., See the part elements of the assignment, Project proposal, : Processing and approval. The project proposal is charged via a fixed-price agreement, which is based on a fixed time value corresponding to two hours., Population, : Population creation is charged via a framework agreement, which is based on the time it takes Denmark's Data Portal to create the population., Standardised data from Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data, : This is charged via a fixed-price agreement, which is based on fixed time values per number of registers and variables., Additional services and consultancy, : Direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication. This is charged via a fixed-price agreement that is based on fixed time values depending on the scope of the assignment., Additional data from Statistics Denmark, : Data extraction from register, direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication. This is charged via a framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption., Data from other data providers, : Processing of data submitted from you or other data providers. The data processing is charged via a framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption., Special data from Statistics Denmark, : Data compiled especially for the users (not in connection with statistics). The compilation is charged via a fixed-price or framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption for compilation divided by expected sales.,  , Examples of price calculations, Example of price calculation for a new research project, The following price calculation includes processing of the project proposal as well as data extraction on demographics (BEF), educational attainment (UDDA), income (FAIK and IND) as well as employment information (DREAM). The price calculation is based on a project with full register extraction where the user creates the population. , Since Denmark's Data Portal rounds up to the nearest whole number due to the standardised price calculation method, the price is calculated according to the following table., Assignment element, Time consumption, Price, Project proposal, 2, Data extraction from register, 6, Data extraction from register > 15 variables, 0,  , Subtotal, 8 ,  , Additional services and consultancy (extra charge 20 per cent)*, 1 ,  , Total hours used, 9,  , Public user,  , 9 hours * 1,674.00 DKK = 15,066.00 DKK, Private user,  , 9 hours * 2,299.00 DKK = 20,691.00 DKK, *The additional service fee corresponds to 20% of the hours for processing of the project proposal, data extraction as well as other requirements (programing/data)., Please note that the price calculation does not include population creation. If Denmark's Data Portal should create the population, this will be carried out based on a framework agreement., Example of price calculation for a new research project enriched with data from the Danish Health Data Authority, This price calculation includes processing of the project proposal, population creation (based on a framework agreement) as well as data extraction on demographics (BEF, BEFADR, VNDS, DOD) and registrations in the National Patient Register (LPR_ADM, LPR_BES, LPR_DIAG, LPR_SKSUBE). The population consists in persons with a consumption of some specific types of medicinal products found via variables in the Danish National Prescription Registry (LMDB2005-2015). These persons must not be registered as emigrated in the register ‘Historiske vandringer’ (VNDS), meaning that they must be marked INDUD_KODE=U. Furthermore, they must not be registered in ‘Døde i Danmark’ (DOD). Moreover, the population from Statistics Denmark is transferred to the Danish Health Data Authority for enrichment with data from the Danish Pathology Register. The processing and pseudonymisation of data from the Danish Health Data Authority are not included in the price., Assignment element, Time consumption, Price, Project proposal, 2, Data extraction from register, 14, Data extraction from register > 15 variables, 0,  , Subtotal, 16 ,  , Additional services and consultancy (extra charge 20 per cent)*, 4 ,  , Total hours used, 20,  , Public user,  , 20 hours * 1,674.00 DKK = 33,480.00 DKK, Private user,  , 20 hours * 2,299.00 DKK = 45,980.00 DKK, Framework agreement for the population creation, Assignment element , Estimated time consumption**, Price, Population creation, 5, Public user,  , 5 hours * 1,674.00 kr. = 8,370.00 DKK, Private user,  , 5 hours * 2.299,00 kr. = 11,495.00 DKK, *The additional service fee corresponds to 20% of the hours for processing of the project proposal, data extraction as well as other requirements (programing/data)., **After the population is created, the time actually sepnt by Denmark's Data Portal is billed at the hourly rate applicable at any given time.,  , Determination of the hourly rate, The hourly rate is determined once a year based on four part elements. The final hourly rate consists in a number of part elements including a development contribution of 3 per cent., Surcharge, : Income forecast for the current year and accumulated surplus/deficit from previous years, Overhead Statistics Denmark and externally funded activities, : Joint expenses, for example for staff, rent, electricity etc. and common administration of externally funded activities, such as maintenance of data bank of basic data, development of externally funded activities etc., Overhead Denmark's Data Portal, : For example, authorisation of new institutions, control of transferred files, sanctioning and general development of the microdata schemes and Statistics Denmark’s Data Portal etc.,  , Other services, Renting of disk space, Projects take up space on Statistics Denmark’s servers. For that reason, we have introduced renting of disk space, so that you as a user are made aware of how much storage capacity your project takes up on Statistics Denmark’s servers. You will only pay for disk space for active projects using a storage capacity over 5 Gigabyte (GB) on the servers. An active project is defined by a minimum of one user logging on to the project within a quarter., Disk space renting is charged on a quarterly basis, and you are invoiced for all projects for which your institution is data controller. For an individual active project using a storage capacity of more than 5 GB, the institution will be charged quarterly in units of 5 GB. Disk space renting will be charged, regardless of the reason for logging onto the project and how often during a quarter., Hosted server, Statistics Denmark also offers to host your own servers, which will be located at Statistics Denmark. , Read more about requirements and prices for hosted servers ,  , FAQ on prices, We have gathered some of our frequently asked questions on prices below., FAQ on prices, Why does the price vary from one assignment to the next?, An assignment is composed of several part elements. The assignment is priced based on the part elements of the assignment. This is why the price may vary, for example depending on the number of registers used for population creation, populations from other data providers or the number of registers from which the project needs data extraction. The part elements of the assignment are described in the section “Part elements of an assignment”., The hourly rate has changed over the years – why?, You can see the changes in the hourly rates of Denmark's Data Portal below., All institutions, 2013, 1,248 DKK, 2012, 1,187 DKK, 2011, 1,167 DKK, 2010 2nd half, 1,197 DKK, 2010 1st half, 1,229 DKK, 2009, 1,229 DKK , 2008, 1,229 DKK, Prices after 2014, Private institutions, Other public institutions, 2024, 2,130 DKK, 1,538 DKK, 2023, 2,130 DKK , 1,568 DKK,  , 2022, 2,130 DKK, 1,568 DKK,  , 2021,  2,168 DKK, 1,735 DKK,  , 2020, 2,202 DKK, 1,745 DKK ,  , 2019,  2,202 DKK, 1,607 DKK,  , 2018, 2nd half,  1,749 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2018, 1st half,  1,749 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2017,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2016,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2015,  1,750 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2014,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK, There are various reasons for the price changes., Each year, we adjust the hourly rate for surcharge, which accumulates the surplus/deficit of previous years. Moreover, we include an income forecast for the current year, which can cause variations from one year to the next., Public institutions are not allowed to generate a profit. For that reason, Statistics Denmark regularly adjusts the hourly rates so that they reflect the actual costs and make the accounts balance., In 2014, a distinction was made between private and public institutions, when Denmark's Data Portal for the first time received a special contribution from the coordinating organ for register research, KOR, among others, supporting the hourly rate for public users. This accounts for the difference in price depending on whether a private or a public institution owns the project., Why must I pay for other variables to be added to my project?, Changes in an already existing project must be described in the project proposal and/or the variables documentation. Furthermore, they must be documented and the approval must be renewed in Denmark's Data Portal. The only exception that does not require renewed approval is an update of an already approved population or variable., The approval requires a number of processes, which can be anything from dialogue between you and Denmark's Data Portal to a review of the project and its variables documentation for renewed approval of the project. The process can vary considerably depending on the project, and the time consumption up until the approval is in the range of 1-4 hours whether for new projects, updates or extensions. The price of processing a project proposal is therefore set at two hours. If the time consumption exceeds four hours, a supplementary agreement is made in the form of a framework agreement to cover the actual processing time., We encourage you to make a professional assessment of when and how often you apply for approval of project changes,, so that we can reduce the number of ongoing and minor changes., For how long is a quotation valid?, A quotation is valid for 30 days starting from the date of the quotation. After that, we recalculate the quotation at the current hourly rate., How we charge for a project database? , The charge is based on an annual contract with a fixed-price agreement that includes update of agreed register data in the project database as well as a possible framework agreement for additional services, such as deliveries from the project database to sub-projects and consultancy according to the needs of the project database., The establishment of a project database follows the same pricing guidelines as a new project. Since the project database has a longer time perspective than a project, an annual contract on updating is entered. Thus, the pricing is based on an expected average time consumption for the service., The settlement period appears from the below table. The fixed-price agreement for updating of the project database is settled together with the Q2 settlement of ‘Additional services’. ‘Additional services’ are settled quarterly., Invoiced in the calendar year yyyy, Invoiced in the calendar year, The annual contract covers, Mid-January, Mid-April, Mid-July, Mid-October, Mid-January, Data extraction, Fixed-price agreement for data, Additional services, Consumption Q4 from the previous year, Consumption Q1, Consumption Q2, Consumption Q3, Consumption Q4, Why do prices of comparable services vary?, The price of services is based on past experience and averages. Comparable services may imply small differences in the various part elements that affect the price, for example, the price of processing external data (submitted from other data providers) compared to processing of standardised data extractions from registers in Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data. If project changes appear later in the process, the price may change based on the changes. Furthermore, the hourly rate is calculated annually, which can also affect the assignment price., What is the background for Statistics Denmark’s prices?, Statistics Denmark is the central producer of statistics in Denmark, and the costs of carrying this obligation as an authority are covered by the Danish Finance Act., The data that we collect and store can be used for scientific and statistical surveys under Statistics Denmark’s researcher scheme. Only authorised research and analysis environments are granted access to data, and we charge for making data available for the surveys., In principle, the price must cover the costs associated with performing the assignments from the initial dialogue to the final dialogue no later than 30 days after the assignment has been delivered., The price must further contribute towards the costs associated with:, Consultancy on the use of data in the individual project., Administration of the scheme, for example authorisation, Data access rights, Standardisation of register data, Development of our user services, Securing continued high data security and data confidentiality, Overhead costs, Statistics Denmark’s pricing is subject to the rules on externally funded activities in the public sector and is checked by the National Audit Office of Denmark. Income and expenditure must balance, and the income from services must not be used to fund the obligations of the authority. The financial balance is continuously monitored across a ten-year average.
