Denmark’s economic growth slowed markedly in the fourth quarter of 2025, with gross domestic product rising just 0.2% quarter-over-quarter, according to data updated on 20 February 2026. This represents a sharp deceleration from the third quarter of 2025, when GDP expanded by 2.2% compared with the previous quarter.
On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the latest figures indicate that the robust pace seen in the third quarter was not sustained into year-end. While Q3’s 2.2% gain reflected a strong expansion versus the preceding quarter, Q4’s 0.2% reading points to a near-stagnation of activity as momentum faded.
The comparison framework underscores the shift: the “actual” figure for the fourth quarter measures the change from the third quarter of 2025, while the “previous” figure captures the change in the third quarter relative to the second quarter of 2025. Together, they suggest that Denmark entered the end of 2025 on a much weaker growth footing than earlier in the year.
