News from Copenhagen Post www.cphpost.dk * Despite last week's positive economic figures, the winner of the election is likely to receive bad economic news during the first months of their term. Although second quarter economic statistics showed the country posting surprisingly strong GDP growth, a repeat in the third quarter is unlikely. A closer look at the figures shows that the 1.0 percent GDP growth figure was due mainly to governmental spending and inventory build-up in the private sector. The domestic consumer spending that is necessary to drive continued growth, on the other hand, has remained stagnant. Exports meanwhile are likely to decline. * Economic decline creeping in on capital. As factories move out, eastern Zealand town becomes latest to head into decline. The economic decline once attributed to rural regions is slowing making its way towards the capital. Originally confined to rural areas of Jutland that had suffered economic decline and widespread depopulation as industrial jobs moved out over the past 25 years, the phenomenon is now occurring in the town of Slagelse, pop. 30,000, and less than an hour's drive from the capital. Slagelse is the first town on the island of Zealand to earn the dubious distinction and comes after a number of by large-scale factory closures in recent years, according to Berlingske newspaper. * Call for new efforts to prevent unregistered foreign workers. Construction companies with unregistered workers are targeted by trade unions and employers. Union representatives seeking to identify unregistered eastern European workers yesterday found deserted workplaces at nearly half of the 695 construction sites they visited. The 1,000 representatives from trade union BAT, which represents construction workers, carpenters and joiners, were on the lookout for eastern Europeans they suspect were working for wages far below the industry standard. According to the union, half of the employees the representatives did speak with were not registered by their employer as working in Denmark. * Follow the news on the Danish Culture events in Estonia at Facebook - click here. * Follow the news on the Danish-Estonian Chamber of Commerce at Facebook - click here. |
