The Danish economy has been performing well over the past decadeand combines a relatively high level of GDP per capita with a narrow income distribution. Strong growth in recent years has brought the economy to its capacity constraints. A strong positive output gap has emerged; unemployment reached a 30 year low already by mid 2006, and it has fallen further since then. Avoiding overheating is an urgent challenge. Private-sector
