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), .

The primary use is as deflators (converting nominal values to real values), but is also used as a business cycle indicator and for contract adjustments in the business sector. The index can be divided into Producer price index for commodities, Import price index for commodities and Price index for domestic commodities supply. The Price index for domestic supply of commodities can be traced back to 1876 and in the current form back to 1981. Producer Price Index for Commodities dates back to 2000 and Import Price Index for Commodities to 2005., Statistical presentation, The Producer and Import Price Index for Commodities contains monthly indices of the price development of commodities in the first stage of turnover (business-to-business), i.e. typically sales from producer to wholesaler or retailer, for commodities produced by Denmark for the domestic market and export, or for commodities imported into Denmark. The statistics are divided by product and industry groups., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Approximately 7,400 prices from selected producers and importers in Denmark. Of these, approximately 3,800price reports for calculation of Producer Price Index for Commodities, approximately 3,600 for calculation of Import Price Index for Commodities and approximately 5900 price reports are used to calculate the Price Index for Domestic Supply. The prices are validated automatically in connection with the collection. Unusually large price developments are subsequently checked manually. The validated price developments are then aggregated in a hierarchical system, where they are given weight according to their significance to the overall price index., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Producer and Import price index for commodities serves as economic key figures, cyclical indicator, deflator and a contract regulations tool. The primary users of the statistics are the Danish National Accounts, business and stakeholders in the Danish economy. 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 in the Danish economy. Weights are based on the National Accounts product balances, which covers the main part of trading in the first stage of sales within the delimitation of the statistics. Sample units are selected on a purposive basis using a top-down approach. As a random sampling method is not being utilised a subsequent assessment of sampling error is not enabled. , Published statistics are considered final. , Producer and import price index for commodities are not considered to have an increased uncertainty due to COVID-19. Data collection has been largely not impacted as a result of the crisis and subsequent non-response levels have remained at their historically low levels., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published on a monthly basis.

      Documentation of statistics: Purchasing Power Parities (PPP)

      Contact info, Prices and Consumption, Economic Statistics , Zdravka Bosanac , +45 61 15 16 74 , ZBO@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2025 , Previous versions, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2024, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2023, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2022, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2021, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2020, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2019, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2018, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2017, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2016, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2015, Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) 2014, PPP tells how many currency units a given amount of goods and services cost in different countries. The statistics are used, among other things, to convert countries' gross domestic product (GDP) into comparable figures and for analyses of expenditure levels. Denmark has participated in the work on purchasing power parities since the 1970s, but the statistics in their current form are comparable from 2000 onwards., Statistical presentation, Purchasing power parities (PPP) is an annual price level indicator which expresses the price level in a given country at a given time, relative to the price level in one or more countries. This means that PPP for a particular country indicate how many units of national currency are needed in that country to maintain the purchasing power of €1 in the EU. PPP can be calculated for individual products or aggregates, such as GDP., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Price surveys are conducted in order to provide price input data for household consumption, individual government consumption, collective consumption and gross fixed capital formation (investment goods and services). Reference (imputed) PPPs are used for NPISH consumption, inventories, and net exports., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The EU Commission uses GDP per capita PPP converted, as basis for allocating funds from the Structural Fund to reduce the financial inequalities among and within the 27 EU Member States. Furthermore, indicators derived from PPPs are used for a wide range of analytic purposes, often providing background information for policymaking in the European institutions, in international organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and in national governments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, In the price surveys, the most important source of statistical margins of sampling errors is the range of goods and services, which are not equally representative of all countries included in the international comparisons. The composition of consumption expenditure differs among countries, and this gives rise to potential conflicts between representativeness and data comparability. For some areas, e.g. health it is particularly difficult to provide comparable information. The structure of the health sector differs among countries, and there are no "pure" market prices for these services, which constitutes another statistical margin of sampling error. The margins of sampling errors are not estimated., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Provisional results from the surveys of purchasing power parities are published one year after the reference period, whereas the final results are published three years after the reference period. The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the scheduled date of publication., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Purchasing power parities are compiled for the purpose of conducting price and volume comparisons for a specific year among countries. Consequently, they are comparable across the participating countries. Comparisons over time must be interpreted with caution, as the basket of goods and services differs from one year to another., In the calculation of PPP, price level index and volume index, the average of EU28 was used as a reference country (group of countries) until 2020. With the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union (EU), the EU27 (excluding the UK) = 100 will be used as a reference country (group of countries) from 2020. This has only a minor impact on the comparability of PPPs, the price level index and the volume index between 2019 and 2020. Results for 2024, published in December 2025 are presented in accordance with the new COICOP 2018 classification for product groups., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the statbank.

The state museums and the stat recognized museums continues unchanged., Statistical presentation, The statistic is yearly and it shows the number of visitors inclusive children and young people under 18 years. Furthermore it gather information about yearly opening hours. From 2022, the statistic also show the number of volunteers, hours worked by volunteers and the total admission revenue (incl. annual passes), as well as the number of events outside the premises of the museum and online events (live-streamed) and participants in the two type of events. The museums have different categories and the statistic delivers a time series on the number of visitors since 1984., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Annual electronic questionnaires answered by the individual museums. The statistics on museums is validated and corrected at the micro level i.e. the individual museums. If a museum has large fluctuations in the number of visitors contacted the museum for a clarification of the cause. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The overviews of the individual museums visitor numbers are much in demand., The users are primarily the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, The Danish Agency for Culture, organizations engaged in activities within in the field of museums and the news media, Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting to the museum statistics is voluntary, so the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the smaller museums do not have the resources to report to the statistics. There are also museums that are not state aid that have asked to be exempted from receiving a form., In 2016, schedules were sent out to 430 museum departments. In 2017, forms have been sent out to approx. 400 museum departments. In 2018, forms have been sent out to approx. 380 museum departments. In 2019 forms have been sent to approx. 370. The reason for sending fewer forms is due, for example, to the fact that museums close, exempt from the survey or have wanted to receive one report despite having several places. In 2020 forms have been sent to approx. 380 museum departments. In 2021 forms have been sent to approx. 460 museum departments. In 2022 forms have been sent to approx. 600 museum departments. The reason for the expanded population is due to a screening of potential museums based on the industry code in the Business Register. The reporters had to answer whether they had a collection that the public had access to. If they answered 'yes', they were included in the statistics. If they answered 'no', they were excluded. In 2023 forms have been sent to approx. 460 museum departments. In 2024 forms have been sent to approx. 450 museum departments. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistical data are published approximately 5 months after the end of the reference period. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, It is possible to compare the survey for visitors to state museums and state recognized museums. For museums with other state subsidies and not state-subsidized museums, there may be a variation in e.g. the number of visits etc., which is due to composition effects, and it is not necessarily the same museums or the same number of museums that are included in the population or report to the statistics each year. For museums with other state subsidies and not subsidized museums, comparison with data before 2016 should also be taken with reservation as population formation changed in 2016.

The primary data source to these statistics is the Student Register with data from 1970 onwards. In addition, the Qualification Register is used. Since the Student Register is the primary source for information, the Attainment Register gives nearly complete coverage from 1970 onwards. There is, however information before this time coming from The Qualification Register., Statistical presentation, The Attainment Register gathers information about the highest completed education for each single person based on the information in the Student Register and the Qualification Register. It is a longitudinal register based on an assessment of each person's education "career" and shows how the qualification career develops over time. The register is formed by interpreting the qualification career (skills in chronological order) in order to determine a change in the skill level. Once a year a status register is also produced with the population and information about education the 30. September the current year., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Attainment Register is a longitudinal register based on a assessment of each persons education career in The Student Register and The Qualification Register. It shows how the qualification career develop over time, and it is updated once a year. The status register is produced on the basis of the longitudinal register and contains information about the population and their highest completed education per. September 30 the given year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is a great variety of users. The information is generally used in connection with describing the population or sections hereof. The register is used in connection with status reports for other statistical fields. Data reports are thus submitted for (mainly on the population's highest level of education completed) a wide number of integration registers operated by Statistics Denmark. Furthermore, the register is frequently used in connection with external service activities order by Danish ministries, municipalities, research institutions, professional organization, private enterprises, private individuals and, not least, requests made by the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The Accuracy and reliability vary depending on the source of information. More than 80 pct. of the information comes from administrative sources, such as student systems of educational institutions, which are highly reliable. These sources have priority one when the registry is created and will be used if there is information from one of these sources. Other sources are not so closely linked to the education programs and will often be less reliable. Examples of these sources are the surveys of immigrants' education and the population and housing census in 1970, based on self-reported education. In addition, information is imputed for persons who do not respond in the study of immigrants' education. The imputed data is useful in overall statistical statements, but cannot be considered as valid information on individuals' educational attainment. , In connection with the annual reports from the education institutions there is information which also relate to previous years. These delayed notifications concern particularly the last year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published around 6 months after the end of the reference time. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The longitudinal register is produced once a year and the entire period is thus calculated in the same way. Based on the longitudinal register, a status register is produced with the population per. September 30 that year. In the event of significant changes in the way the longitudinal register is produced, the status registers for all years will be reproduced. It happens that an education changes level from one year to the next. Typically, this will not cause a reproduction of all the status registers and therefore affect comparability over time. Labor force survey provide information too Eurostat about the educational attainment level and this is these figures that are used for international comparison of the attainment level., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Statistics are published once a year in "News from Statistics Denmark" . At the same time data are released in the Statbank and on the homepage: , Homepage, Information also appears in the annual publications Statistical 10-Year Review and the Statistical Yearbook., Read more about accessibility and clarity

Furthermore it gives information on the progress of the education and the subjects of the project. Data are comparable since mid-eighties which is as long the PhD education has existed in Denmark., Statistical presentation, The statistics gives information on numbers of PhD-students and numbers of PhD-graduates at institutions approved to offer PhD-educations in Denmark. The statistics gives information on the progress of the education, under here schemes and special arrangements, periods of leave, and study periods spent abroad. The statistics also gives information on the subjects of the project and on sources of financing. The statistics also covers doctorate granted after §15,2, according to this paragraph a doctorate can be granted based exclusively on a positive evaluation of a thesis without participation in an education., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics is based on reports from all Danish institutions approved to offer PhD-educations. The data collection covers the total population. The reported data from each respondent is examined carefully. The examination is concentrated on missing data for each respondent. It is also checked if consistent information are reported for each student. Data reported from a university is furthermore compared to data for previous time periods. , In case of missing data or unexpected trends the respondent is contacted for verification of the reported data., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for Ministries, Universities, Public service, Business organizations, Media and Researchers, for research and analyses. The statistical data are also used in other areas within Statistics Denmark as education statistics are relevant in many contexts. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on a complete enumeration in which all universities and other institutions authorised to offer PhD programmes report data. The statistics cover PhD students and awarded PhD degrees at Danish institutions but do not include doctoral degrees obtained abroad. The core information on the number of PhD students and the number of awarded PhD degrees is based on extensive error checking and there are no significant missing reports. Information on the main field of study is based on institutional affiliation and may in some cases be affected by organisational changes at the universities., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approximately five months after the end of the reference period.

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.
