Overview
Denmark's credit to gdp stood at 136.76% in 2025, a decline of +7.33% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 136.76% by 2025. Denmark ranked 9th globally.
Denmark's credit to GDP ratio has undergone significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with a marked increase in the latter half of the 21st century. The ratio peaked in 2009 at 200.40, a year preceding the global financial crisis, indicating a substantial reliance on credit during the pre-crisis period. Conversely, the trough in 1994 at 30.29 reflected a more conservative approach to credit utilization. In recent years, Denmark has maintained a relatively high credit to GDP ratio, with the latest value standing at 136.76, ranking 9th globally. This is comparable to peer countries such as Cambodia, which has a ratio of 137.68. New Zealand, on the other hand, has a ratio of 134.87, indicating a similar level of credit utilization. However, a significant decline in credit to GDP ratio would likely be triggered by a substantial decrease in GDP growth or an increase in credit restrictions, potentially altering Denmark's trajectory.
