Denmark Launches New Strategic Sector Cooperation Initiatives

Statistics Denmark is among the Danish authorities preparing to launch new projects under the Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) modality in the second half of 2025., 9 April 2025 13:30 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Denmark is expanding its international development efforts with a new round of Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) projects, initiated by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These initiatives align with the Denmark's evolving foreign, development, and economic diplomacy policies, with particular emphasis on the Government’s “Africa’s Century” vision., Among the Danish authorities preparing to launch new SSC projects in the second half of 2025 is Statistics Denmark, which will focus on supporting the green transition. This will be achieved by developing critical primary statistics to facilitate macroeconomic modelling of climate-related policies. , Other authorities set to initiate new SSC collaborations include the Ministry of the Interior and Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Danish Patent and Trademark Office., The SSC instrument has become a cornerstone of Denmark’s international engagement strategy. It fosters equal partnerships between Danish public authorities and their counterparts in key developing countries - including nations in the European Union’s neighborhood - through the sharing of expertise in areas such as policy development, regulation, enforcement, and public-private collaboration., The primary objective of the SSC is to build the capacity of partner authorities to improve policy frameworks and enhance the delivery of public services. These efforts aim to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth and support the global green transition., Secondary objectives, include strengthening bilateral relations, advancing climate diplomacy, and laying the groundwork for future commercial cooperation involving Danish technology and know-how., To support these efforts, sector counsellors are stationed at Danish embassies to coordinate projects, align them with the partner country’s priorities, and integrate them into the broader bilateral relationship. This strategic approach ensures that the SSC not only contributes to local development but also reinforces Denmark’s international presence in key sectors., More details, including the announcement of Statistics Denmark’s new partner country and insights into how sector cooperation projects are launched, will be shared in the next edition of our newsletter., Statistics Denmark already has projects in Ghana, Morocco and Vietnam under the Strategic Sector Cooperation modality.

Every Number Tells a Story

Bosnian students use statistics and videos to share their vision for the future., 11 April 2025 15:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, For most Europeans, the European Union is simply a part of daily life. It’s in the freedom to travel without borders, the shared regulations like those concerning plastic bottle caps, and the routine of voting every few years. Yet for many, the EU remains in the background - something that quietly shapes lives rather than dominates them., But for Bosnia and Herzegovina, a candidate country for EU membership, the path toward integration is very much in the foreground. As part of efforts to prepare the country’s statistical system for EU accession, Statistics Denmark, in collaboration with partners from Finland, Italy, and Slovenia, launched a unique initiative aimed at the next generation., , Facts about the project, This initiative is part of a Twinning project focused on enhancing the statistical capacity of Bosnia and Herzegovina across five key areas: , Business Statistics, Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA), Information and Communication Technology Statistics (ICT), Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), and , Monthly Balance of Payments Statistics. , The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. , You can read more about the project here, ., Under the headline "Every Number Tells a Story – And We Are Listening," a national video competition was held for 18–19-year-old students from secondary schools across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their task: create a two-minute video using official statistics from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Eurostat to tell a story of their choosing., The top 10 finalists presented their videos to a jury in Sarajevo on April 9. The themes were as diverse as the students themselves, covering topics such as demographics, gender, tourism, violent deaths, and living conditions. Yet one thread ran through them all - a desire for a better future. As one team from the Mixed Secondary School “Hasan Kikić” in Gradačac put it: “To Dream, to Build, to Change.”, This message of hope stood in contrast to the realities highlighted by official statistics, which continue to show inequalities both within Bosnia and Herzegovina and in comparison to EU member states. But as the competition showed, the first step to change is understanding the present - and numbers help tell that story., Through their work, students not only learned how to interpret and present statistical data, but also how to use that data to communicate powerful, meaningful messages about their society and their future., The winning entry, came from the Mixed Secondary School in Busovača, which told a compelling story about Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU., You can watch the top 3 videos below:, GDP is to blame, Overuse of the Internet, , Marriages and divorces

External trade, production and supply

How can I find sales figures for a specific commodity in Denmark?, Statistics Denmark does not have information on sales of individual commodities or brands., External trade and production, Using data on production, imports and exports, respectively, it is possible to estimate the market supply., A supply estimate = (domestic production plus imports) minus exports, But it will only be an ESTIMATE, as enterprises with trade or production of minor significance are not required to submit data for these statistics. For example, only companies with at least 10 employees submit data for the production statistics. In addition, a number of enterprises whose imports or exports are worth small amounts are not required to submit data for the external trade statistics. It is also not possible to take e.g. stock of the commodity into account., External trade, The most detailed tables regarding goods are distributed by , CN, classification: , Annual figures, , Monthly figures, In less detail, the table is compiled by , SITC, main groups: , Table SITC2R4, , In table STIC2R4, in the MONTH box under 'More options...' you can choose years instead of months, Production, The most detailed tables regarding goods are distributed by , CN , classification: , Annual figures, , Quarterly figures, , In less detail, the tables are compiled by , SITC, main groups: , Annual figures, , Quarterly figures, , Commodity codes , The key to detailed data on import/export and production are the commodity code classifications CN or SITC, with the CN classification being the most detailed. , The , KN classification, can be unfolded to the full list on our website, which offers an option to search on words or commodity codes., Alternatively, you can search for commodity codes in the Customs Agency's , eVITA, , The production statistics are published in 10 digits, which are equal to the 8 digits of the CN classification + 2 extra digits, The , SITC classification, is less detailed in terms of commodity groups: www.dst.dk/SITC , The SITC commodity codes have 5 digits , SITC and CN are linked in such a way that a 5-digit SITC number always corresponds to one or more commodity codes under the same 4-digit main position in the CN classification , A key between KN and SITC can be found at , Eurostat, It is also possible to search for commodity codes directly in the Statbank Denmark tables. , Please note that commodity codes may change from year to year. In addition, certain commodity codes are omitted from the tables because the information is confidentialised.

Advancing Environmental Statistics in Ghana

Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) together with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working hard on establishing green national accounts., 19 August 2024 15:00 , , The development of robust statistics on environmental goods and services is crucial for understanding the economic contribution of initiatives focused on environmental protection and resource management. These statistics, which form part of the broader system of environmental-economic accounting- often referred to as "green national accounts" - offer valuable insights into the economic activities related to green goods and services. As countries worldwide prioritize sustainability, the ability to measure and report on these areas becomes increasingly important., In July, Ghana made significant progress in this area. Two experts from Statistics Denmark visited Accra to collaborate with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS). Their mission was to develop a strategy for data collection and design effective questionnaires. This visit followed a previous mission that introduced key concepts related to environmental statistics, fostered understanding within the local context, and discussed potential implementation strategies., During the same week, the Executive Director of Ghana's EPA met with the experts from Statistics Denmark to discuss the implementation of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) in Ghana. The meeting underscored the critical role of collaboration between the EPA and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) in advancing sustainable development. Over the coming years, GSS and EPA, with the support of Statistics Denmark, will focus on Water and Waste accounts to drive informed decision-making and promote a more sustainable future for Ghana., The second mission from Statistics Denmark yielded notable progress. Among the key outcomes was an enhanced understanding of the revised Classification of Environmental Purposes (CEP) among the Ghanaian partners. This classification is essential for accurately categorizing and measuring environmental expenditures. The partners also agreed to combine data collection efforts with the existing Business Survey (IBES 2). This approach is expected to streamline the process and ensure more comprehensive data collection., A critical aspect of the mission involved discussions on how to structure the questionnaire, which will be a primary tool in gathering the necessary data. These discussions culminated in an agreement on an ambitious action plan, with a target date set for publishing the statistics on green goods and services by the end of January 2026., This collaboration between Ghana and international experts from Statistics Denmark is part of the Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The collaboration represents a significant stride toward developing a reliable and comprehensive framework for environmental-economic accounting in the country. As Ghana continues to integrate these practices, the resulting data will be invaluable for shaping policies and strategies that support sustainable development and environmental stewardship., , You can read more about our different projects under the Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme here: , , Ghana, Morocco, Vietnam

Asymmetries in statistics on International Trade in Goods

Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia., 19 October 2021 14:00 , , Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia. It has been more than difficult to get a consistent picture of the trade between the two areas because of the huge differences (asymmetries) in statistics on trade in goods published by Eurostat and Geostat (National Statistics Office of Georgia) respectively. The differences have been both concerning the level and – even more worrying – also the trend in trade. , A fruitful and intensive 2-year cooperation between Geostat and Danish experts from Statistics Denmark in the frame of the Twinning project , Strengthening the Capacity of the Georgian Statistical System, has now resulted in a comprehensive report describing the nature, reasons and possible solutions to these asymmetries. The report is an important input to understanding asymmetries and how to handle them in the future “, Link, ”. , Georgia’s geographical location on the shore of the Black Sea means that many goods traded between countries in Europe and mainly Armenia and Azerbaijan are transiting through Georgia. The European traders/custom are in many cases not aware that the specific imported/exported good is only transiting in Georgia and is therefore incorrectly reporting the good as being imported/exported from/to Georgia. Incorrect reporting of goods that are only transiting through Georgia are by far the major reason for the asymmetries according to the report prepared by the project, which has analysed in depths the methodology applied to trade in goods statistics in Georgia, the concepts applied and the practical data collection. , The analysis thereby also implies that the Georgian data in the cases where goods are transiting in Georgia, are more likely to be correct than Eurostat’s data as the asymmetry appears due to incorrect declaration of country of origin (when EU is importing) and country of final destination (when goods are exported from the EU). In many of these cases, the hypothesis was supported by mirror analysis carried out on data from Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkmenistan, which showed similar asymmetries in trade data with the EU. , Asymmetries might be caused by methodological reasons, as well as by data errors. A thorough review of the compilation of international trade in goods in Geostat has revealed a sound methodology applied in Geostat’s compilation of International Trade Statistics and great awareness of international standards. The analysis also indicates that there might be a few issues concerning the so-called trade system, volatile currency, high exemption threshold for export, imputation of missing import of cars and misclassifications of commodities, all of which are more or less out of the hands of Geostat, and more importantly, are minor issues in the big asymmetry picture. , Data errors are by far the biggest problem detected. A good understanding and overview of the nature and major sources of the data errors were obtained from structured in depths microlevel analysis involving a lot of correspondence with colleagues from 6 different EU National Statistical Offices and to some extent local importers/exporters. A lot of hard work remains to reduce the asymmetries in the future, requiring most of all careful training of individual data reporters concerning the importance of indicating the correct country of origin/country of final destination.

Morocco 2024-2026

Statistics Denmark is implementing the second phase of a Strategic Sector Program in Morocco financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our partner is the High Commission for Planning (Haut-Commissariat au Plan - HCP) which is the main producer of official Statistics in the Kingdom of Morocco., About Denmark’s Strategic Sector Cooperation, (on the homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Long-term ambitions, The second phase of collaboration between Statistics Denmark and Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP) aims in the longer run to establish and secure the preconditions for a sustainable national statistical system based on digital collection, processing and dissemination of administrative and to a lesser degree survey data. This to support the decision making for the development of the Moroccan society in general and the just green transition in particular., The second phase naturally builds on the results achieved in the first phase. During the first phase , the digitalisation of the statistical production process in HCP has progressed to a new level: With a new IT strategy, the establishment of a Data Management Centre, the use of web based surveys, implementation of a new software for the business register etc. the IT-infrastructure to receive, process and disseminate data is now more or less in place. , The aim in phase II is thus to secure a steady and continuous flow of data into the system - both from surveys and from administrative registers, and to finalize the quality aspects of the production of statistics and to publish it., You can read more about phase I and find videos about the project here, Strategic outcomes, The project has three strategic outcomes:, Improved statistical frameworks (or systems) supporting a just green transition in Morocco through strengthening NSO capacities to work with adequately and appropriately disaggregated survey and administrative data for statistics, for digitalization processes and for communication., HCP has strengthened their role as a trusted data provider, their capacities to cooperate and to access relevant sector data, and their provision of relevant and in-demand statistics to government, private institutions and the general public relevant to a just green transition., Accelerated required decisions on viable data-solutions for the data ecosystem including but not limited to those of relevance to a just green transition enabled by partners through exposition to Danish data-solution companies and the Danish Public Private Partnership data-ecosystem of statistics., Areas of collaboration, Improving HCPs capacity and the national statistical system is done by amongst other things improving the economic modelling capacities, digitalising prioritised statistical processes, continued work on IT and data security issues, finalising the establishment of a statistical business register and secure data flows, improving quality work, and providing technical support to the further development of the implementation of The System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA)., Besides the efforts to further strengthen capacities in the production, the quality and the access to statistics efforts will be made to strengthen the cooperation between data providers and users establishing national partnerships with both government and private institutions. In practical terms through e.g. working groups and user groups, by drawing up aggreements, arranging work shops and study visits etc.
