Reduced differences in GDP per employed person

The regional inequalities in GDP per employed person were smaller in the 2002 regional accounts than in previous years. The counties of Vest-Agder and Møre og Romsdal, together with Oslo, Akershus and Rogaland, had a GDP per employed person above average.

Gross Domestic Product per Region per inhabitant and per employed person 2002. Total excluded norwegian shelf and Svalbard = 100

Oslo still has the highest and Finnmark the lowest GDP per employed person among Norwegian counties. Both counties were, however, closer to the national average than in previous years. Oslo's GDP per employed person was 10 per cent above the national average in 2002, compared with 17 per cent in 2001. Finnmark's GDP per employed person was 17 per cent below the national average in 2002, compared with 20 per cent in 2001. The figure shows regional GDP per inhabitant and per employed person as index values relative to the national average. The national average does not include activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and Svalbard.

Vest-Agder and Møre og Romsdal became members of the group of counties with GDP per employed person above the national average. Akershus increased its share of the GDP significantly from 2001 to 2002, partly as a result of the relocation of telecommunication and IT businesses to the former airport at Fornebu, which is located in Akershus.

Oslo and Akershus together accounted for about 26 per cent of the Norwegian GDP in 2002. This is 1 percentage point higher than in 2001. The increase is due to the growth in Akershus, whereas the county of Oslo saw its share of GDP decrease. Among the other counties, Vestfold and Vest-Agder in particular increased their share of GDP.

The health industries showed strong growth in 2002. In addition, new and improved statistics were used for the regional distribution of health activities. This contributed to reduced inequality in the GDP per employed person in the 2002 regional accounts.

Household consumption and income are distributed according to the county of residence of the household, as opposed to production and value added, which are distributed according to the residence of the producers. The final consumption in Akershus amounted to 11 per cent of total household consumption in 2002, whereas its share of value added is about 8 per cent (excluding the activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and Svalbard). This is as a result of the fact that a relatively large number of Akershus' inhabitants work in Oslo.

Oslo has the smallest gross fixed capital formation in relation to GDP

The regional distribution of gross fixed capital formation is easily influenced by large investment projects in a small number of enterprises. In particular, investments in major businesses in oil and gas extraction, production of aluminium and ocean shipping may result in large changes in the regional distribution of investments. Measured as a percentage of regional GDP, Oslo had the smallest fixed investment share, while Møre og Romsdal, Rogaland and Troms had the highest shares.

The activities on the Norwegian continental shelf, together with the counties Oslo, Akershus and Rogaland, had the largest formation of fixed capital in 2002. Together, these counties accounted for 59 per cent of the total gross fixed capital formation in Norway, which is a small increase from 2001.

Oslo had the largest growth in disposable income

Oslo had the highest increase in disposable income per inhabitant, at 14 per cent compared with 2001, and exceeded NOK 207 000 in 2002. The disposable income by county is calculated by the residence of the households. The disposable income per inhabitant in Vestfold, Vest Agder, Aust Agder and Møre og Romsdal has grown faster than the national average. Oslo still has the highest final consumption expenditure per inhabitant, at NOK 171 000 in 2002. Nord-Trøndelag had the lowest final consumption expenditure per inhabitant, at NOK 131 000. Nord-Trøndelag also had the lowest disposable income, at NOK 149 000.
