Denmark: Gross domestic savings (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Denmark's gross domestic savings (current US$) rose 7.9% on 2024 (from US$141.98 billion to US$153.25 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +4.9% and a typical year strayed about 9.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 44.9% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.9% in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$7.56 billion a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.
