The financial account shows that net lending for the household sector fell from NOK 10 billion in 2014 to NOK -26 billion in 2015. In 2015, household financial investments amounted to about NOK 145 billion and net acquisition of debt to about NOK 171 billion.

General government’s net financial assets amounted to NOK 8 880 billion at the end of 2015. This is 13 per cent more than at the end of 2014. Net lending in 2015 amounted to 20 per cent of this growth. The rest is the result of gains in securities markets.
