Excerpted from the Denmark Career Guide
The Danish economy is small, open and
very dependent on trade with other countries and has little
influence over international trading conditions or central economic
factors (e.g., interest rates). The value of both exports and
imports constitutes around one-third of its GDP. About two-thirds of
foreign trade is with other EU countries. Germany is by far the most
important bilateral trading partner, but Sweden and Great Britain
are also of significance. Outside the European Union, Denmark trades
especially with Norway, the United States and Japan.
In spite of the international
recession, the Danish balance of payments surplus continues to rise,
improving by 9.6 percent in recent years. The balance of payments on
current accounts showed a surplus of 230 million EUR, which is a
small increase compared with the same period of the prior year.
Exports rose 2.7 percent while imports only rose 1.6 percent; in
particular, exports to the European Union have increased. The
inflation rate remains relatively steady at about 1.8 percent.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
