Today, Danmarks Nationalbank publishes the report Danish Government Borrowing and Debt 2017. The highlights are:

  • Denmark's central government debt was 21 per cent of GDP at the end of 2017. This is a decrease from 2016, attributable to a government budget surplus.
  • In 2017, on average, the central government issued bonds at a yield to maturity of 0.2 per cent and a maturity of around 7.5 years. Interest costs for the central government debt totalled 0.8 per cent of GDP.
  • The yield spread to Germany narrowed, and liquidity improved further in the market for Danish government bonds in 2017, where the central government introduced a new primary dealer model.
