IMF: Denmark’s economy keeps expanding despite shocks

The IMF's downside-skewed risk call sits awkwardly beside its own inflation forecast, which implies price pressure firming toward 2.5% by end-2026 rather than easing — a combination that narrows the room for countercyclical support if those risks materialize. For a small, open economy like Denmark, that framing matters most for how growth resilience is tested against external shocks rather than domestic demand. Whether the inflation path and the downside risk assessment stay consistent in future IMF updates is the open question.
