Abstract

The Danish economy is declining, in 2025, may, but the government and economists remain optimistic. Denmark's economy performed below expectations in the first quarter, recording a GDP decrease of 0.5% compared to the last quarter of 2024, in contrast to the government's optimistic forecasts. New data from Statistics Denmark shows low consumer confidence and a sharp decrease in pharmaceutical exports. However, the government expects a growth of 3% for 2025, compared to previous forecasts of 1.4%, according to the upcoming economic report from the government, which is set to be published on Tuesday, May 27. "We are still experiencing moderate growth," said the Minister of Economy, Stephanie Lose, who insisted that the country is well positioned to face rising global tariffs.
