According to figures from Danmarks Statistik, the Danish economy looks to have flourished in 2022, despite inflation and the War in Ukraine.

Early indicators based on figures from the fourth quarter of 2022 suggests that Denmark’s GDP grew by 3.4 percent for the year and 1.1 percent in the year’s final three months.

By comparison, the EU saw zero growth for the final quarter of 2022, while it was at 0.7 percent for the US.

“The sharp GDP rise stems mostly from the industry, more specifically the medicinal industry. Transport and culture & leisure also contributed positively to the GDP growth,” wrote Danmarks Statistik.
