Recent Economic and Monetary
Trends.
Euro 2002
Niels Bartholdy, International Relations, and Governor Jens Thomsen
The introduction of euro banknotes and coins is tangible proof of the
achievement of EMU in 12 EU member states. In the light of previous
unsuccessful attempts, a number of reasons are presented for the successful
introduction of the euro.
Counterfeit Banknotes
Ulrik Bie and Johan Sebastian Gabel, Secretariat
The extent of counterfeiting in Denmark is limited. Nevertheless, it is on
the increase in the light of the rapid technological development and the
general public's widespread access to reproduction equipment. Like other
central banks, Danmarks Nationalbank seeks to prevent counterfeiting by
improving the secur-
ity features of the banknotes and by increased information measures.
Danmarks Nationalbank's New Payment System, Kronos
Thomas Angelius and Astrid Henneberg Pedersen, Payment Systems
Danmarks Nationalbank has launched a new payment system for kroner and
euro. This system, Kronos, meets all requirements of modern payment systems
and e.g. includes a number of functions to facilitate the liquidity management
of financial institutions.
Taxation of Asset Income and the Financial Markets
Kristian Kjeldsen, Financial Markets, and Erik Haller Pedersen, Economics
The taxation of asset income has changed considerably over the last 20
years, although there are still a large number of different rates and
asymmetries. Pension savings are still subject to tax subsidies compared to
free savings. The taxation of investment associations and income from shares
outside pension savings schemes requires simplification.
Market Dynamics at Low Interest Rates
Louise Mogensen, Financial Markets
In periods with low interest rates, options built into e.g. mortgage‑credit
bonds will lead to self-reinforcing effects, increasing the volatility of the
interest rates.
