The balance of payments for Denmark has been compiled since 1934, with a continuous time series available since 2005. Today the main emphasis is placed upon incomes and expenses in relation to foreign countries. Originally, the most important item was the foreign debt, which is compiled as part of the International Investment Position (IIP) – Denmark’s external assets and liabilities. Since 1991 the IIP has been compiled by Danmarks Nationalbank. The balance of payments statistics are compiled in cooperation between Danmarks Nationalbank and Statistics Denmark, the latter being responsible for publishing the consolidated statistics. , Statistical presentation, The balance of payments records the value of the economic transactions, which are made within a given period between the Danish balance of payments area and the rest of the world. There are three main accounts: the current account (trade in goods and services, primary and secondary income), the capital account and the financial account (arranging debts and receivables with foreign countries). The statistics shows the geographical distribution (counterpart countries). Danmarks Nationalbank compiles the financial account and the investment income of the balance of payments., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are primarily compiled based on other statistics. The sources are used directly and as a basis for calculations of developments. Validation of the sources mainly occurs during the preparation of other statistics, but special validations are carried out across selected sources to ensure consistency between the sources. The validation particularly targets businesses' international organization of production. The sources are processed so that monthly balance of payments statements can be produced, even if some sources are compiled quarterly or annually. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The publication of the balance of payments, particularly the monthly statement, often attracts significant public interest. The statistics are especially used by ministries, politicians, and economic stakeholders. The balance of payments is also used in the compilation of national accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The compilation of the balance of payment is mainly based on other statistics. Accordingly, the accuracy of the balance of payments statistics is very much dependent upon these statistics. Most importantly, there will be uncertainty associated with the first compilations of a period, as important information only becomes available later. Coverage is high as there is a particular focus on coverage in the largest sources. The biggest source of error is measurement errors in the sources that are survey-based. Ongoing validation is performed, so the accuracy of the first publications is lower as it takes time to resolve the validations. The calculations and model assumptions in the compilation are not considered to affect the overall accuracy of the main items in the balance of payments., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly, approximately 40 days after the end of the reference period. Main results are published monthly, approximately 40 days after the end of the relevant month. The final statistics are published approximately three years after the end of the reference period. Punctuality is exceptionally high. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The compilation of the balance of payments follows the IMF's manual and is compiled back to 2005. There is thus comparability with other countries following the same manual and back to 2005. For the detailed items, there is no comparability with the series before 2005. The statistics on International Trade in Services are directly included in the compilation of the balance of payments. For International Trade in Goods, there are methodological differences, so there is a discrepancy between the two statistics. The balance of payments is part of the national accounts and is directly included as the sector rest of the world in the sector account of the national accounts., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The latest figures are published in a monthly news article "Nyt from Statistics Denmark," and all figures can be found in the Statistics Bank.

An input The table facilitates a compilation of an input-output model showing direct and indirect interactions in the economy., Statistical presentation, On the basis of National Accounts product balances tables are compiled which in monetary terms describes how goods and services have been flowing in the economy between suppliers and users. The table contains detailed data for economic structures which enables the compilation of an input-output model that can be used to calculate direct as well as indirect consequences of changes in the level of final demand., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The national accounts as well as the input-output tables are compiled according to the definitions in EU's "European System of National and Regional Accounts - ESA2010", which is a European version of the UN's "A System of National Accounts 2008". In terms of data the input-output tables is almost entirely based on supply and use tables., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Input-output tables are used by e.g. Central Government Administration, trade associations, consultancy companies and others as an important part of large macroeconomic and general equilibrium models and also as an independent tool for assessment of the consequences for e.g. employment and CO2-emissions of various changes in final demand., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The inaccuracy of the national accounts figures relates to the inaccuracy of the various sources, which are used. However, the conceptual consistency and, the uniform adaptation of the sources over time contribute to reducing the inaccuracy of the national accounts figures. In particular, the combination of the primary sources into a coherent system in many cases gives rise to the detection of errors, which therefore are not reflected in the final national accounts or in the input-output tables., The uncertainty in the two most recent years (2023-2024) in the series of input-output tables with 69 industries is greater than in tables at the full 117 industry level. This is primarily due to the fact that the data base in the preliminary years is not as complete and comprehensive as in the final years. The two preliminary tables are compiled using a mathematical updating procedure on the latest final version together with new up-to-date information about the row and column totals. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The input-output tables are released once every year at the same time as the final national accounts. The time of release is approximately (almost) 3 years after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, With a few exceptions the input-output tables can be aggregated into the Danish Industry Classification (DB07) and, thus, input-output tables can therefore easily be combined with other statistics applying the DB07 classification. There is a high degree of international comparability of input-output tables. A lot of effort has been put into keeping the entire time series of input-output tables intact from 1966 through 2011 with no breaks., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Input-output data is disseminated mostly on the internet through the http://www.Statbank.dk and the input-output subject page https://www.dst.dk/inputoutput in various file formats.

Documentation of statistics: Economic Accounts for Agriculture

Contact info, Food Industries, Business Statistics , Simone Thun , +45 51 36 92 51 , sit@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Economic Accounts for Agriculture 2024 , Previous versions, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a macroeconomic accounting system that illustrates the overall economy of the agricultural sector by providing accounts of production, intermediate consumption, gross investment, and other flows. As a satellite account under the European system of national accounts, this statistic represents the agricultural sector’s contribution to the National Accounts. In 2024, the statistic Gross factor income of agriculture was replaced by the Economic accounts for agriculture, which is regulated by an EU regulation. Accounts for Gross factor income of agriculture are available back to 1935, while the Economic accounts for agriculture in its current form are comparable from 1990 onwards., Statistical presentation, The Economic accounts for agriculture is an annual compilation of the agricultural sector’s economic activities, including the value of production (output), intermediate consumption, and gross investments. In addition, subsidies, labour input, and the sale of pesticides and mineral fertilizers are presented in separate, dedicated tables. The economic activities are compiled at basic prices and expressed in million DKK, both at current prices and at previous year’s prices. The statistics are compiled at both national and regional level. The agricultural labour input is measured in thousand annual work units (AWU). Direct subsidies to the agricultural sector are presented in million DKK. The sale of mineral fertilizers is compiled in tonnes., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a composite statistical product, which means that its calculation basis is built on existing statistics, referred to as primary statistics. The statistics are compiled annually using data from a range of different sources, e.g., the Farm Accountancy Data Network and Feed Production Statistics, as well as from administrative registers, industry organizations, companies, and foundations. Once the data in each primary statistic has been processed, it is transferred to and consolidated in the data processing system for the Economic accounts for agriculture, which calculates the annual values. The value of each product is calculated using the standard “quantity times price” method., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Economic accounts for agriculture are relevant for Danish authorities, the EU, research institutions, and agricultural organizations, as they allow monitoring of developments in the economic activities of the agricultural sector. The statistics also serve as input for the compilation of the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The uncertainty in the Economic accounts for agriculture is linked to the uncertainty in the primary statistics used for its compilation. For example, issues such as timing can introduce uncertainty, while other information, such as data from dairies and slaughterhouses, is exact. For preliminary calculations, some estimates are based partly on expert judgment and assumptions until the final data are processed in the primary statistics; therefore, the statistics are considered final only after two years. The sold quantities of mineral fertilizers from the Danish Agency for Green Conversion and the Environment are associated with a certain degree of uncertainty. The data come from the annual collection of sales figures, in which companies with registered products are asked to report the quantities sold of those products. Companies have the option to indicate tax-exempt quantities, but this is voluntary, and not all companies use this option. The data collection does not include self-imports, and some products may be double-counted if a company has not used the option to report a sold quantity as tax-exempt. The data quality is therefore directly dependent on the information provided by the companies to the Agency., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Preliminary figures for the Economic accounts for agriculture are published no later than 10 months after the end of the reference year. Revised, yet still preliminary, figures are published 22 months after the end of the reference year. Final figures are published no later than 2 years and 10 months after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Economic accounts for agriculture replace the Gross Value Added of Agriculture and are published for the first time in 2025 for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are directly comparable with the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, which can be traced back to 1990, while older compilations exist back to 1935. Unlike the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, the Economic accounts for agriculture include changes in farm stocks and livestock in sales values and present sales values at basic prices. In addition, the compilation contains a number of financial accounts that are not included in the Gross Value Added of Agriculture. As a satellite account, the Economic accounts for agriculture are comparable with the National Accounts’ compilations for the agricultural sector., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, .

Base year in the prices indices is changed every fifth year, and latest base year is 2010., Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation. Some prices are only obtainable as price indices only, especially regarding intermediate consumption. Furthermore the volumes are shown for animal products. The statistics covers both agriculture and horticulture. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected at different frequencies from multiple sources. The collected data undergoes a simple validation. Once data is validated, aggregation occurs for a portion of data before publication, while other data is published directly., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics is used by the agricultural organizations and the Ministries (primary the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark) to follow the price- and volume developments and to make analyses and forecasts. Furthermore, there is a need in the industry to follow price developments. The statistics cover the need primarily to calculate value added needed for the agricultural gross factor income calculation, which is a part of the National account. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistic is regarded as punctual., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Not applicable., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in "Landbrug, gartneri og skovbrug" (Agriculture) appearing in the series "NYT fra Danmarks Statistik" (Statistical News) and in the annual publications Statistical Yearbook, Statistical Ten-Year Review and "Jordbrugets prisforhold".

Before production of the index is started, the data are roughly searched for errors. But there are also performed search for errors later in the process, e.g. by looking at the rate of increase in the average wages for each company or organisation. Each employment is given a weight after the share of hours worked in relation to a full-timer’s normal hours, which is used when adding observations to calculate the rate of increase for an enterprise or branch of economic activity., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Private enterprises and organizations in Denmark and abroad, and ministries and other public institutions are the most frequent users of the index.

The punctuality of the publication is considered high and there has been no delays of any kind during the last years., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Improvements in the index are continuously being made. If major errors have been rectified, the index has, as far as possible, been revised back to the first quarter of 1995 when calculations of the index began. From the first quarter of 2013 a new delimitation of sectors (state, regional, municipal or private) has been applied. Hence causing a breach in the data between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. , The index of average earnings in the public sector, is comparable and in many ways similar to the , index of average earnings for Corporations and Organisations, . Internationally, the index is to some degree comparable to wage indices of the public sector in other countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in the Statbank under , Implicit index of average earnings, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

These statistics have been compiled since 2006., Statistical presentation, The , Producer Price Index for Services, is a quarterly measurement of service prices relating to the first commercial transaction (business to business), for the domestic market and export. The statistics contains a number of service price indices in different industries, e.g. price indices for transport services, consultancy services and cleaning services etc. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Approx. 2.300 prices are collected quarterly from selected companies in Denmark in order to calculate these indices. Prices are collected through an electronic questionnaire. The prices are automatically validated during the collecting process and changes that are greater than a predetermined threshold value, are checked manually by the staff. The Price indices are calculated in a hierarchical system, where the first calculation is made for the most detailed industries, i.e. elementary indices. These elementary indices are calculated based on a number of , basic prices, , as geometric Jevons Indices. The elementary indices are subsequently weighted together as aggregated price indices. These are calculated as arithmetic Laspeyres indices., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The , Producer Price Index for Services, serves as a deflator, key economic indicator and a contract regulation tool. The primary users of the statistics are the Danish National Accounts plus an array of public and private sector decision-makers. The statistics meet all the requirements of the EU in terms of industry coverage, aggregation level, frequency and publication date, etc., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The prices covered by the data collection have a direct coverage of approximately 70 percent of total revenue within the selected services. The weight base also covers the main part of all trade in the first turnover, within the demarcation of the statistics, and there is constant monitoring of the quality of the sample. The sample is not extracted simply randomly, so no measure of sample error is able to be produced. , Only final figures are published. , In general, the producer price index for services is not assessed to have increased uncertainty as a result of Covid-19, as the data collection and thus the lapse has been largely unchanged as Follow of the crisis. But a single industry has been affected, which you can read more about less than "Non-sampling error"., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published quarterly, approx. 1,5 months after the end of the reference period, as far as possible on the 15th of the month or the first business day thereafter. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The , Producer Price Index for Services, can be found as a time series from 2006 to present. The statistic follows international standards and is therefore comparable with similar statistics from other European countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics can be found in the StatBank, under the subject , Producer Price Index for Services, .

The purpose of the harmonized consumer price indices is to be able to estimate the development in the countries' consumer prices on a comparable basis. HICP is used both by the Commission and by the European Central Bank in connection with the valuation of the price development in the individual countries in connection with the implementation and monitoring of the 3rd phase of the EMU. All the EU Member States and Norway and Iceland have compiled HICP since January 1997., Statistical presentation, HICP shows the development of prices for goods and services bought by private households in Denmark. Thus, the index also covers foreign households' consumption expenditure in Denmark, but not Danish households' consumption expenditure abroad. The index shows the monthly changes in the costs of buying a fixed basket of goods, the composition of which is made up in accordance with the households' consumption of goods and services., The price indices for April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020 and January, February, March, April, May and June 2021 are more uncertain than usual, as the non-response rate has been significantly larger than normal and some businesses have been shut down due to COVID-19., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The HICP is calculated on the basis of 23,000 prices collected from approx. 1,600 shops, companies and institutions throughout Denmark. Most prices are by far collected monthly. The data material received is examined for errors, both by computer (using the so called HB-method) and manually. The different goods and services, which are included in the HICP, are first grouped according to approx. 500 elementary aggregates for which elementary aggregate indices are calculated. The elementary aggregate indices are mainly calculated as geometric indices. The elementary aggregate indices are weighted together into sub-indices that are in turn aggregated into the total HICP., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The HICP is generally viewed as a reliable statistic based on the views of users., Important users are among others The European Central Bank, The European Commission, The Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior, The Danish Central Bank as well as private banks and other financial organizations., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, No calculation has been made of the uncertainty connected with sampling in the HICP as the sample is not randomly drawn, but the quality of the HICP is accessed to be high. In connection with COVID-19, uncertainty is greater than usual as it has been difficult to collect prices and many industries have been closed down., In addition to the "general" uncertainty connected with sampling, there are a number of sources of potential bias in the consumer price index. One source is the consumers substitution between goods and shops and another source is changes in the sample., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The HICP is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Danish HICP can be compared directly with other countries' HICPs. Using the HICPs it is possible to compare the inflation rates between different countries directly., The Danish HICP is also related to the national consumer price index., From January 2001, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is the coverage of goods and services, as owner-occupied dwellings is only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. , From January till December 2000, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is that both owner-occupied dwellings and private hospitals are only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. , Before January 2000, there are differences in calculation and methodology between the two indices as well as several differences as regards their coverage of goods and services., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP), .
