Denmark is regarded by many independent observers as one of the world’s most attractive business environments and is characterized by political, economic, and regulatory stability. It is a member of the European Union (EU) and Danish legislation and regulations conform to EU standards on virtually all issues. It maintains a fixed exchange rate policy, with the Danish Krone linked closely to the Euro. Denmark is a social welfare state with a thoroughly modern market economy, heavily driven by trade in goods and services. Exports account for about 55% of GDP. Economic conditions in its major trading partners – Germany, the United States, Sweden and the UK – have substantial impact on Danish national accounts.
