Lån & Spar says Denmark inflation hits high-income households harder than low-income groups

• Lån og Spar analysis flagged uneven inflation impacts across Danish households, despite headline CPI rising 2% year-on-year in August.
• Two-adult households with children saw the steepest price increases over the past year; single parents were least affected.
• Students and pensioners faced 1.7%-1.9% inflation, below average; self-employed households saw the highest increases.
• High-income groups were hit harder, with inflation up to 2.3%; lower-income groups saw milder pressure as food prices fell.
• Rising gas and fuel costs weighed most on detached-home households, typically higher-income, while low-income budgets remain more fragile.
