  • Capital Flows and the Exchange Rate of the Krone
    25 Capital Flows and the Exchange Rate of the Krone Jakob Lage Hansen, Market Operations and Peter Ejler Storgaard, Economics INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Capital flows across national borders have increased in volume in recent years, both to and from Denmark as well as internationally. At the same time, the economic literature has turned more attention to the relation- ship between capital flows and exchange rates. Conventional exchange-rate models have sought to explain exchange rates in terms of the development in different macroeconomic variables such as the money stock, interest rates and inflation. These models have had limited empirical success, however. More recent research has intro- duced microeconomic explanations instead, e.g. foreign-exchange dealers' inventory management. The underlying intuition is that foreign-exchange dealers normally adjust their bid and offer prices to and from their inven- tories to match purchase and sales orders in the foreign-exchange market. In this way foreign-exchange dealers ensure that their inventories are not undesirably large or small. An overweight of purchase orders pushes prices up, while they are reduced if there is an overweight of sales orders. To the extent that capital flows trigger purchase or sales orders in the foreign- exchange market, they may therefore influence the exchange rate. This article considers the short-term relationship between capital flows to and from Denmark and the development in the krone vis-à-vis the euro in the period 1999-2004. Initially it is demonstrated that while there is a significant relation be- tween the krone rate and capital flows from portfolio investments on a monthly basis, it is not possible to identify an impact on the krone rate from capital flows from direct investments and other capital imports.

  • Danish Banking Before and After the Napoleonic Wars
    DANISH BANKING BEFORE AND AFTER THE NAPOLEONIC WARS Michael Märcher MICHAEL MÄRCHER 127 DANISH BANKING BEFORE AND A F T E R T H E N A P O L E O N I C W A R S : A SURVEY OF DANISH BANKING, 1736–1857 Expensive armament during ‘The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) led to excessive note-issuing from the only bank, Kurantbanken, in Denmark. One of the con- sequences was that the notes were declared inconvertible in 1757. This difficult situation for the monetary system and banking in Denmark generally lasted from 1757, through the bankruptcy of the state in 1813 and the founding of the Danish central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank, in 1818, until the reintroduction of the silver standard in 1845. The first two commercial banks in Denmark, Centralkassen i Kjøbenhavn and Fyens Discontokasse, were founded in 1829 and 1846 respectively, and the latter became quite important. The first large, modern, and significant -com 1 mercial bank was however the Privatbanken i Kjøbenhavn founded in 1857. This article presents main features in Danish banking before 1857 and consists of two main chapters: the first covers the period before the Napo- 2 leonic Wars, the second deals with the period after.

Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.
