Today, Danmarks Nationalbank publishes the report Danish Government Borrowing and Debt 2018. The highlights are:
- Denmark’s government debt policy has been characterised by four years of very low funding costs and declining debt. In 2018, the central government debt fell to 19 per cent of GDP.
- The central government saves considerable interest costs by granting on-lending and buying bonds to finance social housing. At the same time, it contributes to supporting the market for government securities.
- Market liquidity is supported by the central government’s activity in the secondary market and by a well-functioning primary dealer model.
