Increased savings for enterprises and general government

Preliminary figures for 2006 show an increase in savings for enterprises and general government compared to 2005. Household saving fell from 2005, which is partly motivated by fiscal adjustments related to dividend payments.

Total savings distributed by sector from 1999 to 2006

The national income was NOK 1870 billion in 2006, an increase of 10 per cent from 2005 to 2006. Disposable income rose by 11 per cent compared to 2005. This constitutes a growth in real disposable income of 7.6 per cent. Total savings for Norway was estimated to NOK 568 billion, an increase of 22 per cent.

Lower savings in households

The household saving ratio was estimated at 1.4 per cent in 2006. This is a decrease from 2005, and can be explained by a drop in received dividend payments. From 2006 onwards, dividend income above a risk-free rate of return became taxable as ordinary income. Until 2006, income from dividend payments was exempt from taxation.

Growth in general government net financial investments

Net financial investments in general government were estimated at NOK 413.9 billion in 2006, an increase of 40 per cent from 2005. The high growth in investments is mainly due to high oil prices and investments by the Government pension fund - Global.

Growth in enterprises' operating surplus

Enterprises' operating surplus increased by 18 per cent compared to 2005. This development is due to higher growth in value added. For more comments on gross domestic product by industry, see http://www.ssb.no/english/subjects/09/01/knr_en .
