Companies and activities

ACTIVITIES HANDLED ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT:
Bank Package activities:
Bank Package I (Bank Package): For the period from October 2008 to 30 September 2010, the Danish State guaranteed timely payment of unsecured creditors’ claims against Danish banks paying guarantee commission under the scheme.
Bank Package III (Exit Package): Guarantee was again only provided for up to EUR 100,000 for depositors. Failing banks were generally resolved via Finansiel Stabilitet, and in such case the former Guarantee Fund would contribute a loss guarantee to prevent the Danish State from incurring losses in connection with the resolution.
Bank Package IV (Consolidation Package): Finansiel Stabilitet and the former Guarantee Fund contributed a dowry if a viable bank took over all (model 1) or parts (model 2) of a failing bank. This was done without any loss being incurred by uncovered, unsecured creditors. Individual government guarantees were extended after the expiry in 2013 in case of merger/takeover between two banks. In connection with the solvent liquidation of FS Finans I A/S and FS Finans II A/S in 2023, no banks taken over under Bank Package IV remained.
