In the winter of 2015, the government, policy-makers, economic experts, the business community, Danmarks Nationalbank and the banks stood shoulder to shoulder. I would like to express my appreciation of that. Denmark's fixed exchange rate policy has stood the test of time. Because we all agree to defend it. It has tied us closely to the euro.
The investment outlook is also positive, supported not only by a need to modernise the capital stock after years of subdued investment and an improving outlook for profitability, but also by easy financing conditions as our policy measures have passed through financial markets, benefiting businesses and their customers.
