Fiscal policy and other economic-political initiatives from 2012 onwards are estimated to increase the GDP-level by 0.2 per cent in 2013 and 0.4 per cent in 2014, and thus contribute to GDP-growth by 0.2 per cent in 2014.

The estimated deficit on the central government account is thus DKK 18¼bn lower than estimated in August, which was based on the Budget Proposal for 2014.
