The government's policy aims to achieve broad agreement on measures to balance the national budget, to reduce Denmark's foreign debt and increase employment, as well as to protect and improve the environment and occupational health. The instruments used to this end include a stable Krone exchange rate, a taxation policy designed to promote private savings and reduce private debt formation, and a labour market and educational policy intended to reduce unemployment, which is currently about 11%. Green taxes are increasingly being used to promote sustainable development.
