A terrorist attack in Copenhagen in February 2015 resulted in broad political consensus to enhance counterterrorism preparedness and protection in order to brace Denmark for a potential similar attack. In order to accommodate this, additional funds were allocated to PET under the multi-annual agreement for 2016-2019.
The most recent agreement, from December 2020 and covering the period 2021-23 and extended to cover 2024, provided additional funds for countering the growing espionage threat and developing new technology.
The total of PET’s financial framework in 2024 were DKK DKK 1,206.1m.
