The various branches of the financial sector
in Denmark recently joined forces in the
trade association Finance Denmark, giving
the sector a clear, powerful voice in the
public sphere. The association is known as
an analytical powerhouse and knowledge
bank in relation to the financial sector and
its role in the wider economy, as well as an
important provider of widely used statistics
on financial matters such as mortgages
and the housing market.

Denmark’s calculations.
Note: 2016 data. The figures are unconsolidated and do not therefore take
into account intra-sector asset correlations. Investment funds comprise both
regular and alternative investment funds. Figures for investment companies
are based on 2015 data.
“The creation of Finance Denmark as a single
united and strong organisation for banks as well
as mortgage institutions and investment funds
is also a driver for a powerful, proactive and
highly significant sector centred in the Greater
Copenhagen area. We’re striving to establish
Copenhagen as the best place in Northern
Europe for doing financial business and look
forward to welcoming new members and helping
them establish their business here.”
Ulrik Nødgaard
CEO, Finance Denmark
