Danes are buying foreign shares like never before
Overall, private Danish investors have bought foreign shares and foreign investment fund shares for approximately kr. 40 billion since January 2020. Such large purchases of foreign shares etc. from private Danish investors have not been seen before. The purchases coincide with the fact that the banks have introduced negative deposit rates and the fact that the Danes have had their frozen holiday money paid out. In the first three quarters of 2021 alone, the purchase was approx. kr. 20 billion. This is on a par with the current record for the entire year 2020.
