Denmark’s central bank delivered a quarter-point interest-rate cut to match its euro-area counterpart and defend the krone’s peg to the common currency.
Nationalbanken, which doesn’t hold scheduled meetings, lowered its current account rate to 3.10% from 3.35%, it said on Thursday, its second reduction this year. It comes after the European Central Bank reduced its key deposit rate by the same margin earlier in the day.
