Detter & Co is a specialist advisory firm focused on one question: how governments can manage public assets as professionally as their liabilities.
By applying balance-sheet logic, commercial discipline and long-term governance frameworks, we help governments strengthen public finances and resilience without increasing taxes or cutting essential services.
Dag Detter is a financial adviser to governments and other sovereign entities on managing public commercial assets and improving non-tax revenues.
He led the restructuring of Sweden’s USD 70bn national portfolio of government-owned companies and real estate, the first comprehensive attempt by a European government to systematically manage public commercial assets. Since then, he has advised governments in over 30 countries on public asset management, balance-sheet reform and public finance.
He is the author of The Public Wealth of Nations, The Public Wealth of Cities and Public Net Worth, and a regular contributor to international media.
