The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has published the latest Sector in Figures statistics, a cross-sector overview built from 2025 annual filings for credit institutions, non-life insurers, life insurers and cross-sector pension funds, investment firms, and UCITS funds. The data show that earnings across Denmark's financial sector were generally lower than a year earlier, with non-life insurance companies the main exception. Credit institutions reported lower earnings, although still at a relatively high level compared with recent years, while lending increased, particularly at the largest institutions. The increase was driven by higher corporate lending, including an 8% rise in lending to the real estate sector. Non-life insurers improved their results on the back of a stronger technical insurance result. Life insurers and cross-sector pension funds posted lower results, while market-rate products continued to expand and now make up 60% of provisions. Investment firms recorded lower earnings, especially in equities, although income from bond products increased. Danish UCITS funds continued to grow assets under management, and the market remains dominated by active management, which generally has higher costs than passive funds.
