The corporation has made fixed-term deposits at banks and purchased bonds. All investments have been made in Danish kroner. The corporation achieved an overall effective interest rate on its investments of 3.7% in 2009 (4.8 % in 2008). Following on from the founding of Metroselskabet, the corporation took over an interest rate swap in 2009 for a principle sum of EUR 135 million. At the end of 2009, this swap is included under long-term debts, with a total negative unrealised market value of DKK 56 million. Arbitration claims The construction contractor from stage 1 and 2A of the Metro, COMET, has lodged a claim for additional payment of around DKK 2 billion. The claim relates to the years 1999 onward and therefore covers a pe- riod when the construction work proceeded without any major problems. The former Ørestad Develop- ment Corporation reviewed the claims and informed COMET that these would essentially be rejected on the existing basis. COMET has subsequently lodged a claim for arbitration. Metroselskabet has taken over the claims raised against the Ørestad Development Corporation. A ruling on the case is expected in 2011, according to the current timetable set by the Arbitra- tion body. A settlement was reached in early 2010 with the Movia transport company regarding distribution of passenger income for the period 2005-2007, after Movia had raised an arbitration claim against Metro- selskabet. The construction contractor from stage three of the Metro, Hoffmann/Arkil-Novejfa, has lodged a claim for additional payment in connection with the con- tractor's final settlement of around DKK 81 million. Metroselskabet has reviewed the claims and informed the contractor that they must essentially be rejected. The contractor has lodged a claim for arbitration. The ruling of the Court of Arbitration is expected in 2011.

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.

  • The Opening of Cityringen to Be Celebrated with Great Public Celebration and Free Transport
    11 September 2019 The opening of Cityringen to be celebrated with great public celebration and free transport After eight years of metro construction, the M3 Cityringen opens on Sunday, 29 September. With the capital's new metro line, public transport will gain a significant boost, and the number of passengers using the Metro is expected to double to 122 million already by 2020. The opening of the new, cohesive metro network is celebrated with great public rejoicing, opening ceremony and free transport for the customers of the Metro. The construction of Cityringen's 17 new metro stations and the testing of the system and the driverless trains is now very close to being completed. This means that the largest unified construction project in Copenhagen in 400 years will soon be completed. Finally, many thousands of patiently waiting passengers can use the newly connected metro network. “When Cityringen opens, we can travel underground to work, family and friends with sustainable, public transport, which will tie the city even better together. It will change Copenhagen's everyday life - and pave the way for an even greener capital. I look forward to celebrating the historic day with a great public celebration,” says Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen (S).] On Sunday, 29 September, the opening of Cityringen will be celebrated at the City Hall Square. The celebration begins at 1 p.m. with a live concert, where several Danish artists will perform. Everyone is welcome to join the event. The opening ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. with a special opening show focusing on how Copenhagen will change when the 17 new metro stations open.

  • Metroring: Hand out Metroringen
    Transport-og Energiministeriet Københavns Kommune Frederiksberg Kommune Etablering af en Cityring Regeringen, Københavns Kommune og Frederiksberg Kommune har indgået aftale om at udvide den nuværende Metro med etablering af en Cityring i København. Cityringen skal gå i en tunnel under City, brokvartererne og Frederiksberg. Cityringen får 17 underjordiske stationer af samme type, som kendes fra for eksempel Kongens Nytorv. Cityringen får en linieføring, der dækker følgende stationer: Københavns Hovedbanegård, v. Rådhuspladsen, v. Christiansborg, v. Kongens Nytorv, v. Frederikskirken, Østerport Station, v. Trianglen, v. Poul Henningsens Plads, v. Vibenshus Runddel, v. Rådmandsmarken, Nørrebro Station, v. Nørrebros Runddel, v. Landsarkivet, v. Aksel Møllers Have, Frederiksberg Station, v. Platanvej samt på Vesterbro (v. Tove Ditlevsens Plads, v. Enghave Plads eller v. Otto Krabbes Plads). Stationsplaceringen på Vesterbro skal fastlægges nærmere i det videre forløb. Med en Cityring bliver København og Frederiksberg en banebetjent by. I kombination med S-togslinierne og Metroens etape 1-3 kommer der er et finmasket banenet i centrum af hovedstaden. Det betyder, at cirka 85 procent af alle boliger, arbejds- og studiepladser i de tætteste bydele ligger indenfor 600 meters afstand af en Metro eller S-togsstation. For de fleste bliver der mindre end 10 minutters gang til den nærmeste station. I alt vil 180.000 beboere og 187.000 arbejdspladser/studiepladser være i gangafstand fra en Metrostation på Cityringen. Cityringen vil fuldt indkørt få cirka 275.000 passagerer om dagen og samtidig øges passagerantallet på de eksisterende metrolinier lidt. Cityringen bliver en central del af byens kollektive trafik med tog med få minutters mellemrum og korte rejsetider. Cityringen åbner omkring 2017.
