SJF Bank says Denmark inflation rises to 2.2% in September, still far below 2022 peak

SJF Bank flagged a pickup in Danish inflation to 2.2% in September from 2.0%, still far below the 2022 peak above 10%. Energy prices remained the main driver, with core inflation easing to 1.9% from 2.2%, signalling limited pass-through. Denmark continued to outperform peers, with euro zone inflation at 3.8% in September; US inflation expected at 3.6%. Lower electricity taxes helped cap the headline rate; inflation would have been 3.0% without the tax change. Household purchasing power kept improving as wage growth outpaced prices; Middle East tensions seen as the key upside risk.
