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)
