There is still plenty of room for improvement in terms of providing good framework conditions for businesses operating in Denmark, the minister emphasises:
"The international competition is fierce when it comes to attracting businesses, investments and talent. We must thus continuously work to lower costs and remove red tape, if we want the large companies of tomorrow to place their investments in Denmark rather than in our neighbouring countries."
The World Bank’s Doing Business report is the fifteenth in a series of annual reports benchmarking regulations that affect private sector firms, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises. The report analyses data in 10 areas of business regulation, including starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, access to credit, and paying taxes.
The report presents a valuable tool for companies wishing to identify investment opportunities. Furthermore, the report can help governments and local authorities improve economic framework conditions.
