Economic crisis is over, Danes reckon

Two out of three voters believe Denmark is heading for ‘five good years’ while just 25 per cent believe the crisis will continue, in a new poll by Greens, reported by Seven59.dk and b.dk.

Economists attribute the new found optimism to a number of factors, such as low interest rates, tax relief, a recovering housing market, and the government’s growth plan.

Senior Nordea analyst Jan Størup Nielsen said a surprising rise in consumer confidence reflects the current mood of the electorate.

A little brighter

“People feel they have more disposable income due to tax relief and prices aren’t rising so everything’s looking a little brighter right now,” he said.
