Denmark’s gross domestic product grew 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2025, slowing sharply from 1.5% growth in the first quarter, according to preliminary seasonally adjusted data from Statistics Denmark. The result points to a cooling economy after a strong start to the year, although quarterly growth remained positive. The moderation was broadly expected after Q1 was supported by strong exports and investment, while high interest rates and softer global demand have weighed on activity across Europe. Manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, important export sectors for Denmark, may have faced weaker demand. The annual growth rate was not specified, and the estimate may be revised as more comprehensive data become available.
