The success of Novo Nordisk A/S and other Danish drugmakers abroad prompted the country’s central bank to raise its economic growth forecast through 2025.

Gross domestic product will probably expand 1.7% in 2023, up from a March estimate of 0.9%, the central bank said on Wednesday. The Danish economy is then set to grow by 1.3% in both 2024 and 2025, versus the previous forecast of 1.2%.
