Gældsstyrelsen has already recovered more money by 2019 than in the whole of 2018. But the debt is still rising.

It is better to collect a debt owed to the state in Gældsstyrelsen. Still increasing the debt to the public sector continued, in line with the open interest on the existing debt.

according to new figures from the Gældsstyrelsen.

- It is a big task to get the debt collection up a gear. It's going to take several years and require difficult political decisions. But it is positive that the new gældsstyrelse all the time is better to recover the debt.

- One of the keys to regain the danes ' trust is that we get the debt is restored, so that people pay what they owe, write the general, rasmussen, Morten Bødskov (S) in a comment.

According to the Gældsstyrelsen has recovered 7,3 billion in 2019 to and including October. It is 200 million dollars more than in the whole of 2018, which was recovered for 7.1 billion dollars.

For the entire 2019 expect Gældsstyrelsen to recover more than 8.5 billion dollars.

however, There is still much to be done. The recovery of debts to the public was severely hampered by the failed it system EFI, which would collect the task for the public.

It went completely wrong, and the system is now replaced by a new called PRSM. The system is still under implementation, and a large number of public institutions - including municipalities - are not connected to.

According to the ministry of finance will take several years before all the creditors are connected. It is, among other things, police, water companies and transport authorities.

The total debt to the public of private individuals and companies is at 123 billion. By the turn of the year the figure was 117 billion dollars. The amount is thus increased, although the Gældsstyrelsen kicked in more money than in 2018.

Of the 123 billion is the market value - the estimate of what actually can be called - on to 29 billion.

- the market Value provides a snapshot of the debt-to-value by, among other things, to take account of citizens 'and companies' ability to pay what they owe.

- the market Value is thus not an expression of the fact that the recovery is not working, or that Gældsstyrelsen give up to recover the debt, writing agency, on the numbers.
