Denmark

Denmark is a high-income society equipped with world-class infrastructure, a skilled labor force, and a robust social welfare system that ensures minimal income inequality and promotes social cohesion. Committed to liberal trade and investment policies, this country of approximately 6 million people also benefits from exceptional political, economic, and regulatory stability. Competitive corporate tax rates and other incentives attract significant foreign direct investment (FDI). A leader in the pharmaceuticals, maritime shipping, agriculture, and renewable energy sectors, Denmark also benefits from its strategic geographical position between Northern and Western Europe, and is a gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea. A member of the EU, Denmark is not part of the eurozone, although its currency is pegged to the euro.

Amidst these strengths, Denmark faces challenges, including its over-reliance on foreign trade, heavy tax burdens, and soaring household debt.
