In this way, we are able to prevent security issues and immediately bridge any security gaps., To ensure that our employees and authorised users comply with the rules, we do the following:, We make sure that our employees know our rules on data confidentiality and information security, that all employees have signed a non-disclosure agreement and that non-compliance will have serious consequences in terms of employment., On a regular basis, we check that the employee has access to nothing but information that is strictly necessary for their tasks., We register (log) which data sets each employee uses. In 2015, we have extended the logging of searches in data, as directed by the Data Protection Agency in July 2014., External users, e.g. research scientists, must be approved and only have access to information where civil registration numbers (CPR nos) etc. have been replaced with serial numbers that do not allow you to identify people., When external users use Statistics Denmark’s data, we continuously log and check if they comply with data confidentiality requirements.

Among other things, ISO 27001 sets requirements to risk management, documentation of processes as well as the distribution of roles and responsibilities for information security. Furthermore, the purpose of ISO/IEC 27001 is to achieve efficient information security management as well as secure processes for continuous improvement. It means that the information security is constantly updated., Data confidentiality policy, Confidentiality in the handling of statistical products and other data materials is about protecting the statistical units against disclosure of information requiring confidentiality. This applies with respect to the surrounding world as well as Statistics Denmark’s employees., Rules to maintain data confidentiality are implemented in the data confidentiality policy with associated disclosure and statistical confidentiality guidelines as well as in the fixing of individual access rights to confidential information in Statistics Denmark., Data Confidentiality Policy at Statistics Denmark 2024 (pdf), Information security policy, Statistics Denmark's Information security policy 2026 (pdf), Privacy policy, In connection with your use of Statistics Denmark’s websites, we collect information about you.

The statistics have been compiled annually since 2013 with grant funding from the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries., Statistical presentation, The statistics are an annual web-based questionnaire survey on wholesalers' sales of food and beverages to the foodservice area - i.e. commercial kitchens, restaurants, institutions, etc. – i.e. companies and institutions where food is served. The questions relate partly to total turnover for foodservice, partly to turnover for organic foodservice, distributed over a limited number of product groups and customer groups. The turnover is calculated in terms of value (DKK million) and quantity (tons)., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected via a questionnaire-based total count of food wholesalers with over 40 million DKK in turnover. Data is validated in connection with the collection in an online form. Data is subsequently checked and corrected after re-contact with the food wholesalers. Data is then summed up for statistics and key figures are calculated., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of the statistics is to provide an overall picture of sales of food and beverages to commercial kitchens, restaurants, institutions, etc. There is a special focus on organic foods, as a supplement to the statistics Retail sales of organic foods. Foodservice has become more important in recent years and a group of industry organizations and companies have wanted comprehensive statistics on the area. The statistics are also included in the formulation and follow-up of objectives for organic food service., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Since the statistics are a total count of companies with over 40 million in turnover, there is no sampling error. Smaller companies' sales are not known, but based on the total turnover, it is estimated that less than 5 percent of total sales to foodservice are from these companies. More than 95 percent of the companies have answered the survey. For some companies, it is difficult to obtain the figures for the survey. These have provided best estimates instead. The total sales are more certain than sales divided into product or customer groups., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published 9 months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, There are no common guidelines for international statistics on foodservice., The statistics can be compared to a limited extent with the Retail turnover of organic food.

Documentation of statistics: Balance of Payments

Contact info, External Economy, Economic Statistics , Maria José Alvarez Pelaez , +45 30 66 03 21 , MJP@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Balance of Payments 2024 , Previous versions, Balance of Payments 2023, Balance of Payments 2022, Balance of Payments 2021, Balance of Payments 2020, Balance of Payments 2019, Balance of Payments 2018, Balance of Payments 2017, Balance of Payments 2016, Balance of Payments 2015, Balance of Payments 2014, Documents associated with the documentation, Omlægning af tabeller om betalingsbalance og udenrigshandel i Statistikbanken juni 2024 (pdf) (in Danish only), The balance of payments describes the economic transactions between Denmark and the rest of the world. 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.

This attachment is recorded at the end of November and compiled once a year. The first RAS compilation was made at the end of November 1980., Statistical presentation, RAS is an annual, individual-based compilation that records the population’s attachment to the labour market on the last working day of November. The population’s attachment is divided into three main socio-economic groups: employed, unemployed, and persons outside the labour force. The statistics can be broken down by demographic variables and education, as well as by industry, sector, and municipality of the workplace for employed persons. The data are published in News from Statistics Denmark and in the Statistics Denmark StatBank, and detailed micro-data are made available through Statistics Denmark’s Research Service., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The register-based labor force statistics (RAS) are based on the Labor Market Account (AMR_UN), which is a longitudinal register. When RAS is compiled, a status assessment (in relation to the population's primary attachment to the labor market) is carried out on the last working day of November in the AMR. Based on AMR_UN, it is also possible to perform status assessments on arbitrary days throughout the year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The register based labour force statistic (RAS) is primarily been used to structural analysis of the labour market, because the statistic has a very detailed level of information. Many external as well as internal users are using the statistic., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, RAS is a register-based compilation that uses many data sources to measure the population's affiliation to the labor market. This means that RAS does not have the same uncertainty as statistics based on samples. RAS consists of a wide range of data sources, which are integrated, checked for errors, and harmonized, making it possible to provide a better picture of the population's connection to the labor market than the individual statistics can., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, From the publication of figures for the end of November 2018 onwards, the release is carried out in two stages. In the first release, persons outside the labor force are grouped together in a single category. This publication takes place approximately 11 months after the reference point. In the second publication, which occurs approximately 15 months after the reference point, persons outside the labor force are divided into different socioeconomic groups., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first version of the RAS statistics includes the population resident in Denmark as of the 1 January 1981 and its attachment to the labour market at the end of November 1980. The statistic has been compiled once every year since. New and better data foundations and changes in the labour market have however caused a number of data breaks over time, which have influence on the possibility of comparing data over time. Since RAS is based on administrative registers with national distinctive marks, it is very difficult to compare the statistic in an international level. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published in Statbank Denmark: , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), . , For further information go to the subject pages , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The main results are coordinated in the so-called consumer confidence indicator. The Danish surveys have been conducted since 1974. From 1996 data is collected in all 12 months of the year., Statistical presentation, Consumer monthly questions for: financial situation, general economic situation, price trends, unemployment, major purchases and savings. Consumer quarterly questions for: intention to buy a car, purchase or build a home, home improvements., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, This survey are sample surveys, where a representative sample of persons 16-74 years are asked among other things about the consumer expectations. The results are corrected from the effects of non-sampling and non-response and then enumerated so that the figures can directly be classed with the population of adult persons and families in Denmark. Data are validated using logical validation rules. A seasonal pattern could not be identified in the series and no seasonal adjustment was undertaken., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The most important user is the European Commission for Economy and Finances (ECFIN), which receives detailed tables for all questions and publishes seasonally adjusted consumer confidence indicators for all EU member states. The figures are also of great interest to the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As the results are based on a sample survey, they are subject to a certain degree of statistical uncertainty. This depends on both the size of the sample and the number of completed interviews, which vary from survey to survey. With a sample of approximately 1,500 persons and a response rate of about 65%, which has normally been achieved in the last few years, the statistical uncertainty is in 95 pct. of the cases estimated ranged within +/- 3 percentage points. A change in an indicator should be greater than 5 percentage points to indicate a significant change., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, There is no difference between planned and actual release time., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The questions asked in connection with these statistics in Denmark are also asked in the European Commission's Consumer confidence survey '. The European Commission publishes figures for all EU countries in its database. Eurostat's consumer confidence is based on a slightly different composition of questions than the current one in Denmark. Therefore, the overall consumer confidence indicators calculated in Denmark and in Eurostat are not directly comparable, whereas all sub-indicators are directly comparable. The questions shown in the section 2.01. Data description, have been asked in all the omnibus surveys since 1974. Due to minor changes in the calculation method, an immediate comparison is only possible from 2007 onwards. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The results are published in , News from Statistics Denmark, and , Statbank Denmark, . Further, there is a subject page for , Consumer Expectations, ., After each survey, Statistics Denmark submits detailed tables giving a number of background variables as well as the consumer confidence indicator and net figures to the European Commission, which publishes monthly both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted indicator and the net figures for each members state (incl. Denmark), at European Commission database: , European Commission database, The access to the more detailed data and Micro-data can be granted through Statistics Denmark's agreement for researchers., Read more about accessibility and clarity
