The National Bank of Denmark published data showing Danish companies held bank deposits of DKK 405 billion in April, a decline of DKK 49 billion (about 10.7%) from March. The fall was attributed in part to dividend payments and a larger corporate acquisition. The bank noted that companies’ deposits in both Danish kroner and foreign currencies have shown significant fluctuations since 2020, reflecting liquidity needs tied to dividends, corporate transactions and capital investments, as well as foreign-currency liquidity management by large Danish groups with international activities.
