Danish central bank raises interest rates by 0.25 percentage points

Danmarks Nationalbank will raise its key interest rates by 0.25 percentage points with effect from 11 September 2026.

The current account rate, rate on certificates of deposit, lending rate and discount rate will all be increased by 0.25 percentage points.

The move follows a decision by the European Central Bank, ECB, to raise its key monetary policy rate, the deposit facility rate, by 0.25 percentage points.

As a result, the monetary policy interest rate spread between Denmark and the euro area remains unchanged.

Following the increase, Danmarks Nationalbank’s interest rates will be 2.10 per cent per annum for the current account rate, 2.10 per cent for certificates of deposit, 2.25 per cent for the lending rate and 2.10 per cent for the discount rate.
