It is not only Danish food and energy prices that have been affected by inflation.
The Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link is also being impacted. According to a report from Femern A/S, the cost of building the tunnel has increased to DKK 61 billion since 2015 when the construction law was passed. The construction budget was initially set at DKK 55.1 billion.
