Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.
Denmark's main exports are: industrial production/manufactured goods 73.3% (of which machinery and instruments were 21.4%, and fuels, chemicals, etc. 26%); agricultural products and others for consumption 18.7% (in 2009 meat and meat products were 5.5% of total export; fish and fish products 2.9%). Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and has since the 1990s had a balance of payments surplus. The accumulated value of service and merchandise exports in 2013 amounted to 54% of GDP, and imports in 2013 amounted to 49% of GDP. Notable among the service exports are container shipping. There is no net foreign debt as other countries owe more money to Denmark than Denmark owes to them, but because of large deficits due to increased unemployment levels the central government has increased its debt level since the end of September 2008, when it stood at 21 percent (gross debt) of GDP, according to the central bank - in accordance with the Eurostat EMU- gross debt numbers, which only take liabilities into account. (See below (Budgets)). Taking assets into account as well net debt of the central government was 11 percent. The public sector as a whole had net assets of 108 billion kroner in 2008. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of gross national income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each other's right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees. Denmark produces oil, natural gas, wind- and bio-energy. Its principal exports are machinery, instruments and food products. The US is Denmark's largest non-European trading partner, accounting for around 5% of total Danish merchandise trade. Aircraft, computers, machinery, and instruments are among the major US exports to Denmark. Among major Danish exports to the U.S. are industrial machinery, chemical products, furniture, pharmaceuticals, Lego and canned ham and pork.

Denmark scholars explicitly state that Christianity is the origin of many of its values, institutions, etc.
"Compared with most other countries in the world, Denmark's societal institutions and popular mentality have been shaped by Christianity to an exceptional degree... religion is more firmly entrenched in Danish society than in many other countries....The Church of Denmark...has nearly 80% of the population as members."
denmark.dk/en/society/religion/
Secular education uses propaganda to rob people (even Danish commenters below) of facts that even atheist scholars admit:
"Everything good in Western civilization, from individual liberty to the arts, is due to Christianity." - Murray Rothbard
This is like teaching relativity but attributing it to Darwin instead of Einstein.
"28% of Danish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", 47% responded that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 24% responded that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force". Another poll, carried out in 2008, found that 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the Savior of the world.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
When Bible principles are followed, even secular research foundations like Blue Zones show they brings happiness and health to life (see www.bluezones.com or quest.bluezones.com). These Bible factors are big reasons Denmark is #1 in happiness and #1 in peace (http://travel.amerikanki.com/most-peaceful-countries-in-the-world/) or close to it year after year after year.
There are ~20+ biblical principles on economics. Denmark follows a number of them even better than America. That is a key ingredient to their happiness.
http://www.truth-is-life.org/jubileeeconomics.html
Basically, the Bible advocated either:
1A) Distribution of all land and natural resources, since these were created by God and not any human being. The Bible repeatedly instructed Israel to give every family permanent land in Joshua 13-18, Ezekiel 45-6 and other places. When kings such as Solomon did this in 1 Kings 4:25, it brought great peace and safety to all.
Concentration of wealth dramatically increases corruption, bribery and the ability of a few elite to control media companies and education and brain wash people which is precisely why American founders feared it worse than invading armies.
AFTER land is shared fairly, THEN the free market takes over and those who work hard can get rich, but all can take care of their basic needs. This was the Jubilee system that God gave Israel (VERY briefly).
1B) If the land is not divided fairly as is ideal, then God required pagan nations to guarantee the basic needs of the poor (Daniel 4:25). Kids and a few others need full support. Adults should be supported in ways to make them self-sufficient as soon as possible, never for no work done.
Many ancient nations/tribes and 1000s of great thinkers agree that these are the only 2 ethical economic systems and they are the only ones that prevent many societal ills. Capitalism, communism and most forms of socialism refuse to recognize these principles..
Denmark, Sweden and some others are doing B with free education, free health care, etc. America isn't currently doing EITHER A or B and so is having big problems.
2) Danes don't make materialism the #1 idol as many nations do. People are much more important. The Bible says repeatedly that greed is the root of all evil and we can see this in many situations all throughout history causing much destruction, including millions of kids dying every year these days because of capitalism.
Dr. Woodberry has completed the most rigorous study so far and shown that protestant missionaries are by far the #1 factor in bringing democracy and freedom to countries around the world. See:
https://www.disciplenations.org/media/CT-Article-On-Missionaries-And-Global-Democracy.pdf
http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic965299.files/Woodberry%20APSR%202011.pdf
Christianity pioneered economic rights as well as many human rights and a good deal of morals and stopped many abuses as well 1000s of years before science figured out why they were important. Bible principles add ~10 years to life and increase, happiness, success, mental stability, marriage quality and other things.

In the midst of European economic crises, the Nordic region has emerged largely unscathed, continuing to top global indexes in health, education, equality and well-being as well as recording impressive economic growth. Sweden, Denmark and Norway have drawn praise from across the political spectrum; from social democrats to free marketers, while Scottish nationalists often cite the Scandinavian countries as role models for an independent Scotland. But why is this region so successful? What is the secret? Or has the Nordic model gone from being idolised to being romanticised and mythologised?

With very few natural resources, the economy of Denmark relies almost entirely on human resources. The service sector makes up the vast amount of the employment and economy. Its industrialised market economy depends on imported raw materials and foreign trade. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of Gross National Income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each others right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees.

The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark, pronounced [ˈkɔŋəʁiːəð ˈdanmɑɡ̊] (
listen)) is a constitutional monarchy and sovereign state consisting the country of Denmark in northern Europe and two autonomous constituent countries, the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic and Greenland in North America. The kingdom is a unitary state with some power being devolved from Denmark proper to Greenland and the Faroe Islands; this polity is referred to as the Danish Realm. Denmark proper is the hegemonial area, where judicial, executive, and legislative power resides. The Faroe Islands are defined to be a community of people within the kingdom, and the Greenlandic people are defined as a separate people with the right to self-determination.
Denmark is the southernmost of the Nordic countries, located southwest of Sweden and south of Norway, and bordered to the south by Germany. The country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland and many islands, most notably Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm, as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago.

He was the son of King Christian X of Denmark and Queen Alexandrine, born Duchess of Mecklenburg. Frederick's reign saw great change. During these years, Danish society shook off the restrictions of an agricultural society and developed a welfare state. And, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. In other words, Denmark became a modern country, which meant new demands on the monarchy.

Economy of Denmark
Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.

What is the secret of Scandinavian success?
In the midst of European economic crises, the Nordic region has emerged largely unscathed, continuing to top global indexes in health, education, equality and well-being as well as recording impressive economic growth. Sweden, Denmark and Norway have drawn praise from across the political spectrum; from social democrats to free marketers, while Scottish nationalists often cite the Scandinavian countries as role models for an independent Scotland. But why is this region so successful? What is the secret? Or has the Nordic model gone from being idolised to being romanticised and mythologised? This must watch debate filmed at the Battle of Ideas, includes a remarkable expose of Sweden's dark history of forced sterilisation. -

Basic Facts of Wealth
We know that there are rich countries, poor countries, and countries somewhere in between. Economically speaking, Japan isn’t Denmark. Denmark isn’t Madagascar, and Madagascar isn’t Argentina. These countries are all different. But how different are they? That question is answered through real GDP per capita—a country’s gross domestic product, divided by its population. In previous videos, we used real GDP per capita as a quick measure for a country’s standard of living. But real GDP per capita also measures an average citizen’s command over goods and services. It can be a handy benchmark for how much an average person can buy in a year -- that is, his or her purchasing power. And across different countries, purchasing power isn’t the same. Here comes that word again: it’s different.... -

Denmark to increase BRIC exports
Hit by the European financial crisis, Denmark saw its economy shrink in the third quarter, raising prospects the country will soon slump into recession. To boost growth, the country has decided to expand its export ties with more emerging countries. In an exclusive interview with CNC, Pia Olsen Dyhr, Danish Minister for Trade and Investment, talks about how Denmark will open more for business. Pia Olsen Dyhr, Danish Minister for Trade and Investment, says Denmark will expand economic ties with emerging markets as trade with developed economies stagnates. According to data from Denmark's Foreign Ministry, some 70 percent of Danish exports currently go to "near markets" in Europe, while 7 percent go to the U.S. -- the next biggest export destination outside the EU.

Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.
Denmark's main exports are: industrial production/manufactured goods 73.3% (of which machinery and instruments were 21.4%, and fuels, chemicals, etc. 26%); agricultural products and others for consumption 18.7% (in 2009 meat and meat products were 5.5% of total export; fish and fish products 2.9%). Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and has since the 1990s had a balance of payments surplus. The accumulated value of service and merchandise exports in 2013 amounted to 54% of GDP, and imports in 2013 amounted to 49% of GDP. Notable among the service exports are container shipping. There is no net foreign debt as other countries owe more money to Denmark than Denmark owes to them, but because of large deficits due to increased unemployment levels the central government has increased its debt level since the end of September 2008, when it stood at 21 percent (gross debt) of GDP, according to the central bank - in accordance with the Eurostat EMU- gross debt numbers, which only take liabilities into account. (See below (Budgets)). Taking assets into account as well net debt of the central government was 11 percent. The public sector as a whole had net assets of 108 billion kroner in 2008. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of gross national income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each other's right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees. Denmark produces oil, natural gas, wind- and bio-energy. Its principal exports are machinery, instruments and food products. The US is Denmark's largest non-European trading partner, accounting for around 5% of total Danish merchandise trade. Aircraft, computers, machinery, and instruments are among the major US exports to Denmark. Among major Danish exports to the U.S. are industrial machinery, chemical products, furniture, pharmaceuticals, Lego and canned ham and pork.

Secular education uses propaganda to rob people (even Danish commenters below) of facts that even atheist scholars admit:
"Everything good in Western civilization, from individual liberty to the arts, is due to Christianity." - Murray Rothbard
This is like teaching relativity but attributing it to Darwin instead of Einstein.
"28% of Danish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", 47% responded that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 24% responded that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force". Another poll, carried out in 2008, found that 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the Savior of the world.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
When Bible principles are followed, even secular research foundations like Blue Zones show they brings happiness and health to life (see www.bluezones.com or quest.bluezones.com). These Bible factors are big reasons Denmark is #1 in happiness and #1 in peace (http://travel.amerikanki.com/most-peaceful-countries-in-the-world/) or close to it year after year after year.
There are ~20+ biblical principles on economics. Denmark follows a number of them even better than America. That is a key ingredient to their happiness.
http://www.truth-is-life.org/jubileeeconomics.html
Basically, the Bible advocated either:
1A) Distribution of all land and natural resources, since these were created by God and not any human being. The Bible repeatedly instructed Israel to give every family permanent land in Joshua 13-18, Ezekiel 45-6 and other places. When kings such as Solomon did this in 1 Kings 4:25, it brought great peace and safety to all.
Concentration of wealth dramatically increases corruption, bribery and the ability of a few elite to control media companies and education and brain wash people which is precisely why American founders feared it worse than invading armies.
AFTER land is shared fairly, THEN the free market takes over and those who work hard can get rich, but all can take care of their basic needs. This was the Jubilee system that God gave Israel (VERY briefly).
1B) If the land is not divided fairly as is ideal, then God required pagan nations to guarantee the basic needs of the poor (Daniel 4:25). Kids and a few others need full support. Adults should be supported in ways to make them self-sufficient as soon as possible, never for no work done.
Many ancient nations/tribes and 1000s of great thinkers agree that these are the only 2 ethical economic systems and they are the only ones that prevent many societal ills. Capitalism, communism and most forms of socialism refuse to recognize these principles..
Denmark, Sweden and some others are doing B with free education, free health care, etc. America isn't currently doing EITHER A or B and so is having big problems.
2) Danes don't make materialism the #1 idol as many nations do. People are much more important. The Bible says repeatedly that greed is the root of all evil and we can see this in many situations all throughout history causing much destruction, including millions of kids dying every year these days because of capitalism.
Dr. Woodberry has completed the most rigorous study so far and shown that protestant missionaries are by far the #1 factor in bringing democracy and freedom to countries around the world. See:

Christianity pioneered economic rights as well as many human rights and a good deal of morals and stopped many abuses as well 1000s of years before science figured out why they were important. Bible principles add ~10 years to life and increase, happiness, success, mental stability, marriage quality and other things.

wn.com/Denmark Is The Happiest Nation(From Abc), Because It Is Closer To Bible Economics (Read The Notes)
Denmark scholars explicitly state that Christianity is the origin of many of its values, institutions, etc.
"Compared with most other countries in the world, Denmark's societal institutions and popular mentality have been shaped by Christianity to an exceptional degree... religion is more firmly entrenched in Danish society than in many other countries....The Church of Denmark...has nearly 80% of the population as members."
denmark.dk/en/society/religion/
Secular education uses propaganda to rob people (even Danish commenters below) of facts that even atheist scholars admit:
"Everything good in Western civilization, from individual liberty to the arts, is due to Christianity." - Murray Rothbard
This is like teaching relativity but attributing it to Darwin instead of Einstein.
"28% of Danish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", 47% responded that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 24% responded that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force". Another poll, carried out in 2008, found that 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the Savior of the world.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
When Bible principles are followed, even secular research foundations like Blue Zones show they brings happiness and health to life (see www.bluezones.com or quest.bluezones.com). These Bible factors are big reasons Denmark is #1 in happiness and #1 in peace (http://travel.amerikanki.com/most-peaceful-countries-in-the-world/) or close to it year after year after year.
There are ~20+ biblical principles on economics. Denmark follows a number of them even better than America. That is a key ingredient to their happiness.

Basically, the Bible advocated either:
1A) Distribution of all land and natural resources, since these were created by God and not any human being.

When kings such as Solomon did this in 1 Kings 4:25, it brought great peace and safety to all.

In the midst of European economic crises, the Nordic region has emerged largely unscathed, continuing to top global indexes in health, education, equality and well-being as well as recording impressive economic growth. Sweden, Denmark and Norway have drawn praise from across the political spectrum; from social democrats to free marketers, while Scottish nationalists often cite the Scandinavian countries as role models for an independent Scotland. But why is this region so successful? What is the secret? Or has the Nordic model gone from being idolised to being romanticised and mythologised?

Denmark's first female prime minister has reshuffled her cabinet in a bid to kick start the country's economy and halt faltering support for her centre-left government.
Helle Thorning-Schmidt has appointed Henrik Sass Larsen as minister for business and growth in one of several ministerial changes. The country has been poised on the brink of a recession.
"We want to discuss how we will get growth in Denmark, how we create jobs," she told TV2 News television, introducing Sass-Larsen an ambitious ally in her Social Democrat Party.
Thorning-Schmidt, who unseated Lars Lokke Rasmussen's liberal-conservative coalition two years ago, has watched support for her centre-left coalition government ebb after forcing through cuts to unemployment benefits, student grants and early retirement packages.
Many Danes have criticised what they call her backtracking on a election promise to "bring Denmark out on the other side of the (economic) crisis".

Frederick IX (Christian Frederik Franz Michael Carl Valdemar Georg) (11 March 1899 -- 14 January 1972) was King of Denmark from 20 April 1947 until his death. He was the son of King Christian X of Denmark and Queen Alexandrine, born Duchess of Mecklenburg.
Frederick's reign saw great change. During these years, Danish society shook off the restrictions of an agricultural society and developed a welfare state. And, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. In other words, Denmark became a modern country, which meant new demands on the monarchy.

With 5.6 million inhabitants, Denmark has been at the vanguard of nations adopting circular economy principles. The government of Denmark has shown its commitment to securing a sustainable future for its citizens by launching a strategic program: Denmark without Waste. Aimed at transforming policies, businesses and society, the program has several initiatives in place to encourage green business models, green technology, innovation funding, better regulation, favorable waste policies, as well as improved education and training. With ambitious targets such as recycling 50 percent of all household waste by 2022 and becoming independent of fossil fuels by 2015, Denmark is hoping to set the standard amongst nations in becoming a green and resource-efficient economy. These national initiatives are supplemented by initiatives at a regional level. The city of Copenhagen plans to become the first carbon-neutral capital by 2025. In 2011, Copenhagen had already reduced CO2 emissions by 21 percent compared to 2005.

We know that there are rich countries, poor countries, and countries somewhere in between. Economically speaking, Japan isn’t Denmark. Denmark isn’t Madagascar, and Madagascar isn’t Argentina. These countries are all different.
But how different are they?
That question is answered through real GDP per capita—a country’s gross domestic product, divided by its population.
In previous videos, we used real GDP per capita as a quick measure for a country’s standard of living. But real GDP per capita also measures an average citizen’s command over goods and services. It can be a handy benchmark for how much an average person can buy in a year -- that is, his or her purchasing power. And across different countries, purchasing power isn’t the same.
Here comes that word again: it’s different.
How different? That’s another question this video will answer.
In this section of Marginal Revolution University’s course on Principles of Macroeconomics, you’ll find out just how staggering the economic differences are for three countries—the Central African Republic, Mexico, and the United States.
You’ll see why variations in real GDP per capita can be 10 times, 50 times, or sometimes a hundred times as different between one country and another. You’ll also learn why the countries we traditionally lump together as rich, or poor, might sometimes be in leagues all their own.
The whole point of this? We can learn a lot about a country’s wealth and standard of living by looking at real GDP per capita.
But before we give too much away, check out this video -- the first in our section on The Wealth of Nations and Economic Growth.

Refugee Crisis Hits Sweden's Rich-Poor Divide Fueling Pay Debate
Bloomberg Business - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-18/refugee-crisis-hits-sweden-s-rich-poor-divide-fueling-pay-debate
'Decades-old practices that have propped up wages and restricted hiring have so far stopped unskilled immigrants from joining the workforce. But with some 350,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, set to arrive in Sweden by the end of next year, keeping all those people on state handouts rather than letting them do low-paid jobs looks untenable.'
The Swedish System of Government
Sweden Sverige-
https://sweden.se/society/the-swedish-system-of-government/
'In Sweden, general elections are held every four years, with the last one held in September 2014. Around 7 million people are entitled to vote and thereby influence which political party will represent them in the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament), county councils and municipalities. People can also influence Swedish politics in other ways - by taking part in referendums, joining a political party or commenting on reports presented by the Government.'

Refugee Crisis Hits Sweden's Rich-Poor Divide Fueling Pay Debate
Bloomberg Business - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-18/refugee-crisis-hits-sweden-s-rich-poor-divide-fueling-pay-debate
'Decades-old practices that have propped up wages and restricted hiring have so far stopped unskilled immigrants from joining the workforce. But with some 350,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, set to arrive in Sweden by the end of next year, keeping all those people on state handouts rather than letting them do low-paid jobs looks untenable.'
The Swedish System of Government
Sweden Sverige-
https://sweden.se/society/the-swedish-system-of-government/
'In Sweden, general elections are held every four years, with the last one held in September 2014. Around 7 million people are entitled to vote and thereby influence which political party will represent them in the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament), county councils and municipalities. People can also influence Swedish politics in other ways - by taking part in referendums, joining a political party or commenting on reports presented by the Government.'
Sweden flirts with six hour work day
CNN-
http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/02/news/economy/sweden-6-hour-work-day/
'The 40 hour work week for a full-time employee has been trimmed to 30 hours at some Swedish firms, and studies have found that the result is more productivity and better morale.'

With 5.6 million inhabitants, Denmark has been at the vanguard of nations adopting circular economy principles. The government of Denmark has shown its commitment to securing a sustainable future for its citizens by launching a strategic program: Denmark without Waste. Aimed at transforming policies, businesses and society, the program has several initiatives in place to encourage green business models, green technology, innovation funding, better regulation, favorable waste policies, as well as improved education and training. With ambitious targets such as recycling 50 percent of all household waste by 2022 and becoming independent of fossil fuels by 2015, Denmark is hoping to set the standard amongst nations in becoming a green and resource-efficient economy. These national initiatives are supplemented by initiatives at a regional level. The city of Copenhagen plans to become the first carbon-neutral capital by 2025. In 2011, Copenhagen had already reduced CO2 emissions by 21 percent compared to 2005.

Denmark to increase BRIC exports

Hit by the European financial crisis, Denmark saw its economy shrink in the third quarter, raising prospects the country will soon slump into recession.
To boost growth, the country has decided to expand its export ties with more emerging countries.
In an exclusive interview with CNC, Pia Olsen Dyhr, Danish Minister for Trade and Investment, talks about how Denmark will open more for business.
Pia Olsen Dyhr, Danish Minister for Trade and Investment, says Denmark will expand economic ties with emerging markets as trade with developed economies stagnates.
According to data from Denmark's Foreign Ministry, some 70 percent of Danish exports currently go to "near markets" in Europe, while 7 percent go to the U.S. -- the next biggest export destination outside the EU.
In comparison, exports to the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, contribute only 5 percent of Denmark's overall total.
But as demand in the EU and U.S. declines as a result of low economic growth and the debt crisis, emerging markets look increasingly attractive.
The minister says spurring exports to BRICS countries and greater openness to foreign investors can help Denmark's economy regain growth momentum.
SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) PIA OLSEN-DYHR, DANISH TRADE MINISTER:
0005"There are three areas which my ministry is going to work with. Increasing investments in Denmark, also hopefully from Chinese companies. Focusing on exports from this country; more than half of our GDP comes from exporting goods and services. And third, international trade, that is both with the EU and within the WTO. For myself, I think the mission for my ministry is more than that: it is actually about showing the rest of the world that Denmark is open for business."
According to the minister, Denmark has a lot to offer based on experience and skills.
But she stresses that Denmark would not pick-and-choose green technologies to promote in a specific emerging economy. That would depend on the target country's needs.
SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) PIA OLSEN-DYHR, DANISH TRADE MINISTER:
0055"I am not going to prioritize special industries; I am going to be focused on areas or sectors. A small economy like Denmark cannot prioritize. We have to be focused on what we put on the international trading agenda. We know we are very good in green technology, both on the energy side as well as clean water solutions, waste water management. We have skill since Denmark because of our experience with environmental pollution in the 1970s, the oil crisis where we could see we could not being dependent on oil and went in for renewables instead. Having this history makes us world leading in these technologies. We will focus on what we are good at and what we can deliver global solutions for, and which are needed."
Denmark's government has decided to publish a BRICs strategy next February.
Dyhr says new legislation will make it easier for foreign labor to come to Denmark and work.
SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) PIA OLSEN-DYHR, DANISH TRADE MINISTER:
0200"We are examining all the legislation that makes it difficult for foreign investors to come to Denmark. We are looking at visas, as we know it is more difficult to get a visa to Denmark than our neighboring countries, that is going to change. Looking into work permits, if a Chinese investor comes to Denmark and wants to establish a production line in Denmark, of course they want Chinese to follow as well. And why shouldn't we make it easier for them to have, for example, three or four Chinese nationals at a factory in Denmark where, for example, you have 1,000 Danish employees?"
The new Danish openness will look for partnership opportunities across all sectors, rather than being limited to specific industries.
SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) PIA OLSEN-DYHR, DANISH TRADE MINISTER:
0320"I hope we can go into some partnerships where Denmark has strengths, such as the green sector, health sector where we have much technology in the health and welfare system. We have a public system but also private companies strong in this field. I see China has more and more elderly people, and fewer younger people. There is going to be a change there, and I think some of the technologies we know and have developed, would be obvious to have some interaction with Chinese investors."
