About Denmark interest rate
In Denmark, interest rates decisions are taken by the Board of Governors of the Central Bank of Denmark (Danmarks Nationalbank). The main interest rate is the rate on current-account deposits. The Danish central bank follows the path set by the ECB and the key rate will be raised or lowered when the ECB changes the refinance rate. The Danish central bank’s main policy aim is to hold the euro’s exchange rate within 2.25% either above or below 7.46038 kroner in an effort to keep inflation low and provide stability for exporters.
