About the analysis ‘Monetary and financial trends’
In March and September, Danmarks Nationalbank publishes the analysis Monetary and financial trends. Denmark is a small open economy closely integrated into the international financial system. Global financial developments can affect the demand for Danish kroner and thus Danmarks Nationalbank’s fixing of monetary policy interest rates. Moreover, given the fixed exchange rate policy, monetary policy in the euro area has a major impact on Denmark.
An important element of the analysis is the assessment of how the fixed exchange rate policy, interacting with global financial developments, affects financial conditions in Denmark.
The financial conditions are important for Danmarks Nationalbank’s assessment of the current state of the Danish economy and the outlook for the future. Financial conditions also affect the potential build-up of macro-financial imbalances.
