KOSTRA, 2012, preliminary figures

KOSTRA - preliminary figures, 2012

The key figures in KOSTRA (Municipality-State-Reporting) provide information on most of the municipal and county municipal activities, including economy, schools, health, culture, the environment, social services, public housing, technical services and transport and communication.

The figures focus on the priorities, productivity and the coverage of needs, using a vast number of key indicators.

Data entry at the same level as last spring

All of the municipalities and county municipalities have reported their data. The entry percentage is at approximately the same level as previous years for extracts from municipal accounts, as well as the entry of forms for the service areas.  

91 per cent of the municipalities and all the county municipalities have reported extracts from their accounts. Forty of the municipalities have not managed to report valid operational and capital accounts. Reporting for the service areas varies from 80 to 100 per cent. The county municipalities only lack a couple of forms. In addition, data have been collected from several sources outside Statistics Norway, from directorates that also collect data from the municipalities.
