Enhanced Requirements and Payments are to strengthen the Danish Government Securities Market


  • From 1 April 2017, the central government is introducing annual payments of up to kr. 25 million to banks that quote prices on a current basis and act as distribution channels for Danish government bonds ​for a trial period. At the same time, requirements for the banks are enhanced.
  • This is expected to contribute to a more liquid market for government securities and hence to lower funding costs for the central government.
  • Liquidity is to be increased through narrower bid-ask spreads and more banks trading actively in Danish government securities.
