What inflation is expected in Denmark in 2026 and 2027?
Forecast from September 2026
Short answer
Inflation in Denmark is expected to be 1.7% in 2026, 2.4% in 2027 and 2.1% in 2028, in the forecast Danmarks Nationalbank published on 23 September 2026. Rising energy prices pushed inflation up in 2026, and higher energy prices are expected to lift it further over the winter. Danish GDP is expected to grow 4.0% in 2026, 2.3% in 2027 and 2.0% in 2028.
Why
- The yearly figure is an average of all twelve months, so it can differ from the latest monthly rate.
- Rising energy prices raised inflation in 2026 both in Denmark and in the euro area.
- Wage increases are expected to be moderate.
Details
In October 2026 the measured inflation rate was 2.2%.
Tip
For a trip in 2027, add a few percent to prices you see for 2026.
What may differ
A forecast is not a promise; energy prices can change it, and the outlook is updated twice a year.
Common misconception
Danish prices will fall again soon.
What actually happens
The forecast is for prices to keep rising: 1.7% in 2026, 2.4% in 2027 and 2.1% in 2028.
