How big are Denmark's gold reserves?

Gold on the central bank balance sheet.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

At the end of September 2026 the gold holdings of Danmarks Nationalbank were valued at 58.8 billion kroner, unchanged from 31 August 2026. The figure is part of the monthly balance sheet that Danmarks Nationalbank publishes at the start of each month. For comparison, the foreign exchange reserve was 693.2 billion kroner at the same time. The gold value is given in kroner, so it is not the same as a weight in tonnes.
