Government to present proposal for housing plan
The new parliamentary session is underway after last week’s reopening, and a stream of government proposals and plans is likely in coming weeks. An agreement with labour market organisations was announced last week, with a handful of proposals that could impact foreign residents.
Housing minister Kaare Dybvad Bek will today present a plan to spend over a billion kroner increasing subsidised housing in Copenhagen. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said during parliament’s opening that the capital must become more accessible to people in lower income groups.

‘Corona effect’ on house prices fades
Denmark’s housing market now resembles pre-coronavirus conditions with price increases having settled to a lower level than they were at during the crisis, news wire Ritzau reports.
September saw the sale prices of houses and apartments increase by 0.3 percent compared to August, Ritzau writes based on data from property site Boligsiden.
Price increases for houses in apartments in recent months are similar to those seen throughout the last decade, an expert said.
“We are now arriving at a housing market that is like the one we know,” said Nykredit housing economist Mira Lie Nielsen.

Curried herring product recalled after glass found inside jar
Curried herring (karrysild) is something of an acquired taste if you’re not a Danish native, in our humble opinion of course. But should you have recently purchased the Princip Karrysild product, made by Tenax Sild and sold in Bilka and Føtex, do not open it (even if you like it).
The product has been recalled after a consumer found a piece of glass in a jar. The batch in question has a best before date of February 16th 2022.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen) advises against eating the product.
