How to Buy Danish Government Bonds
The issuance of Danish government bonds has decreased steadily over the past 10 years, due to an accumulated positive cash balance of the central government. At the same time, however, Danish government bonds consistently outperform bonds issued by most governments. The Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the Danish Central Bank, who holds the responsibility for the central government debt, issues Danish Government Bonds. You can find Danish government bonds traded on the Copenhagen Exchange, as part of the NASDAQ OMX market, upon initial release from the central bank. In order to trade Danish government bonds, you will need to open an account with the Copenhagen Exchange, through the NASDAQ OMX on-line.

Tips & Warnings
In addition to purchasing Danish government bonds, you also may purchase a variety of other investments on the Copenhagen Exchange, including corporate bonds and stocks, mortgage bonds and structured bonds.
The purchase of bonds involves financial risks. While the Danish government bond market currently outperforms many investments, past performance does not dictate future performance. If you cannot afford to lose the principal you invest in the initial bond, you should forgo the investment.
