Magnus Barsøe wrote that Denmark should establish an investment fund inspired by Norway together with Mayor Michael Vindfeldt. They presented the proposal in Berlingske and called the fund "Denmark's Generational Fund." Barsøe compared Norway's sovereign fund, which he claimed had nearly 22 trillion Norwegian kroner, with Denmark's economy. He wrote that the treasury had an overall surplus of nearly 500 billion kroner from 2021 to 2025, and argued that the money should be invested instead of being used for political priorities. The proposal included a starting capital of between 100 and 150 billion kroner from the state's account in the National Bank, as well as annual state contributions of ten billion kroner for ten years. According to Barsøe, the investments should be widely spread across foreign stocks and managed independently of politicians. He also suggested a cap of two percent on the fund's annual payouts. If the fund started with 150 billion kroner, Barsøe claimed it could grow to about 500 billion kroner in 20 years and then send nearly ten billion kroner a year to welfare. He wrote that the fund should help pass on values to future generations and noted that Denmark's "oil" was labor. #Danmark #Økonomi #Investering (translated)

Germany's debt rises to 2.75 trillion euros. In just three months, another 26.3 billion euros were added. It can only go like this! Debt rise: The public debt of the federal government, states, and municipalities increased by 26.3 billion euros in the second quarter of 2026 to 2,753.5 billion euros. In just three months, federal debt alone increased by 20.5 billion euros to 1,907.1 billion euros. Municipalities under pressure: Cities, towns, and municipal associations also recorded another increase. Their debt rose by 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2026 to 200.2 billion euros, while the federal states together had liabilities of 646.2 billion euros. The continuing increase in debt shows that the financial burden on public budgets continues to rise despite improved economic conditions. Thank you very much for this important note!
