    Analyses: The global organisation of industrial groups has an impact on the measurement of Danish production and income

    The way in which Danish enterprises choose to organise their production and sales in the global economy impacts whether it is reflected as domestic production and value added (GDP) or only as income (GNI) in the national accounts. When Danish enterprises sell products abroad, the activities are included in Danish GDP, whereas income based on sales via subsidiaries abroad is only included in GNI. In this way, the choice of sales channel impacts the statistics on Danish production and income., This analysis describes the global set-up of Danish industrial groups and their impact on the Danish economy. Focus is on the close correlation between Danish exports and in-come from subsidiaries abroad. The analysis is an extension of a Statistics Denmark analysis from 2016 dealing with goods exports outside Denmark by Danish manufactu¬ring enterprises. Income data from the central bank of Denmark, Nationalbanken, has allowed us to further document the importance of the industrial groups to the Danish economy., Main conclusions:, The industrial groups are important to the Danish economy; they export goods and services produced in Denmark or abroad and receive income from subsidiaries abroad. , In 2016, Danish industrial groups’ sale abroad of goods not crossing the Danish border accounted for almost a third of their total sale of goods abroad of DKK 524 billion., The income from subsidiaries of DKK 42.1 billion accounts for approximately one third of total earnings from Danish industrial groups’ manufacturing activities abroad. These ear-nings could have been counted as exports had the group chosen a different role for the production taking place in subsidiaries abroad., In 2016, the industrial groups’ activities abroad accounted for approximately 6 per cent of the Danish gross national income (GNI) and approximately 4 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP).,  , This is a translation of an analysis previously published in Danish 1 October 2018.

    Analyses: Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?

    In 2023, 117,500 adults redeemed a prescription for a weight loss medicine. This corresponds to 2.4 per cent of the adult population. Weight loss medicines are mainly targeted at people with a BMI of at least 30, but what else characterises the users?, This analysis takes a closer look at the users of weight loss medicines, with a special focus on users in the first half of 2023.

In the first half of 2023, 1.6 per cent of the people in the lowest income quintile used weight loss med-icines, while it was about 3.4 per cent of the people in the highest income quintile - when using the equivalised disposable family income among the 30-59-year-olds., There is a difference in the proportion of users of weight loss medicines across municipalities. The highest proportion of users was in Tårnby (2.9 per cent), while the lowest proportion was in Læsø (0.8 per cent)., Gentofte municipality had the highest proportion of users of weight loss medicines in the first part of 2023 when the proportion is related to people with self-reported obesity in 2021. In Gentofte, there were 24.5 users of weight loss medicines per 100 people liv-ing with obesity, while in Læsø, there were 2.9 users per 100 people living with obesity.,  , The analysis is available in Danish here: , Hvem bruger slankelægemidler?, Get as pdf, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Colophone, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Subject group: People, Released: 6 May 2024 08:00, No. 2024:3, ISSN pdf: 2446-0354, Contact:, Fenja Søndergaard Møller, Telephone: +45 23 62 62 99 , Emilie Rune Hegelund, Telephone: +45 20 56 47 11
