Since 2012 the economy has been in an upswing with growth in employment and a closing output gap. We expect this to continue in the coming years with growth in real GDP of around 1.6 per cent per year. There are currently no major imbalances in the economy that call for immediate political action. Danish firms today are very competitive.
Public finances are healthy and sustainable in the long run. Inflation has been low for a period due to the fall in oil prices in late 2015 but is now forecasted to just below 2 per cent in 2018.
