The National Bank of Denmark published its December 2025 foreign exchange and liquidity statistics and monthly balance sheet, reporting that the foreign-exchange reserve fell by DKK 8.5bn to DKK 651.1bn. The decline reflected a net sale of foreign exchange of DKK 7.2bn and the central government’s net repayment of foreign debt of DKK 1.3bn, and no foreign-exchange market intervention was recorded for December settlements. Liquidity data showed the net position of banks and mortgage-credit institutes vis-à-vis the central bank increased by DKK 19.6bn in December to DKK 324.4bn, with the central government’s liquidity impact contributing DKK 27.3bn. A note to the tables states that several December and full-year liquidity figures were corrected on 16 January 2026, including revising the central government “net financing” entry for December to DKK 28.4bn from DKK 31.3bn and for 2025 to DKK 12.9bn from DKK 15.7bn, and revising “other factors” for December to DKK 2.4bn from minus DKK 0.4bn. Key policy rates were unchanged from 6 June 2025, and the monthly balance sheet showed total assets of about DKK 698.0bn at 31 December 2025, including DKK 557.4bn of foreign assets, against monetary-policy deposits of about DKK 324.4bn.
