Finance Minister Nicolai Wammen stated that no specific amounts have been allocated to specific groups in the plan currently being presented by the government.

وأضاف نيكولاي وامن بأن هناك عائلات دنماركية لديها أطفال ومتقاعدون يتعرضون لضغوط مالية شديدة ويشعرون بوضوح بالتضخم المرتفع عندما يتعين دفع فاتورة الكهرباء أو عند التسوق وشراء البقالة، وتجد العديد من الشركات صعوبة في بدء العمل بسبب زيادة النفقات. ولذلك ندعو الآن الأحزاب البرلمانية إلى مفاوضات بشأن منحة اقتصادية موجهة لمن هم في أمس الحاجة إليها. نستمع إلى جميع الأحزاب التي ترغب في تحمل المسؤولية ومساعدة الدنماركيين خلال الأوقات الصعبة. إن مساعدات التضخم لا تحل كل شيء، ولكن يجب أن تساعد الأكثر تضرراً”.

Nikolai Wammen said that the financial framework amounts to 2.3 billion Danish kroner, but there is not much money to spend. According to the government, the government will provide a tax-free check for 5,000 kroner to 290,000 elderly people who receive the senior citizen check (ældrecheck), at a total cost of 1.45 billion Danish kroner.

In addition, the government will also allocate 300 million kronor to needy families with children.

Thus, 1.75 billion kroner has already been spent, and therefore there will only be 550 million kroner that the government can actually use in its inflation plan.

Of the 2.3 billion kronor the government plans to spend on inflation aid, it is expected that [something] will flow 1.2 billion kronor in additional taxes for energy companies, presented by the Ministry of Taxation يوم الخميس كنتيجة لتنفيذ توجيهين من الاتحاد الأوروبي يطالبان الدول الأعضاء بفرض ضرائب على “الأرباح غير الطبيعية” لشركات الطاقة.
