With respect to financial resources for the short term crisis fighting, the ceiling of the EFSF/ESM will be reassessed in March 2012 and the financial resources to the IMF will be increased substantially through bilateral loans. The commitment is up to 200 billion euro. The Danish part will be up to 40 billion Danish kroner which will be taken from the foreign exchange reserves.
*** For close to 30 years, the fixed-exchange-rate policy (slide 9 – the krone rate) has been a cornerstone of Danish economic policy – and has served Denmark well. Inflation and interest rates are in line with those of the best-performing euro area Member States, and the Danish level of prosperity matches that of our neighbouring countries.
