Publications

The national accounts are published only in Danish. In the period from 1999 to 2011, as well as in 2014, the National Accounts were published in the publication National Accounts.

Statistics Denmark's collection of historical statistics contains a large number of national accounts-related publications, also in Danish under Historical Statistics.

On-line database

The statistics are published in a number of tables in the StatBank under Economy.

Micro-data access

More detailed data are available at a charge. It is possible to buy data from the approximately 2,350 product balances at current prices, prices of the previous year and at constant prices, typically in the form of, e.g. a single product balance or the product composition of a given consumption group.

Information on gross fixed capital formation is also sold in its most detailed form, i.e. as information on the product composition of a given industry.

Please contact the office for National Accounts if you wish to hear more about the possibilities for tailored national accounts data.

Other

The national accounts provide table sets to Eurostat, so that Denmark's national accounts figures are included in the Eurostat database. The figures are provided via Eurostat to the OECD database.

A database of national accounts figures is also provided to ADAM (the macroeconomic model in Statistics Denmark). External users can access ADAM's database for a fee.
