Despite economic crises and a bevy of bank rescue bundles, Denmark’s two biggest banks have ensured overall executive pay is on the rise, according to a Ritzau survey of the country’s biggest companies listed on the C-20 index.
Without the banks, directors in the country’s largest companies have received 3.4 per cent less in salaries – but when banks are included, overall director salaries have increased by 1.5 per cent.
