The decrease is mainly due to lower income from petroleum extraction. The operating surplus from the SDFI was reduced by NOK 28 billion and a NOK 66 billion decrease in tax revenue from petroleum has caused a decrease of about 8 per cent in total tax revenue. Employers and members contributions to the National Insurance Scheme have increased by a total of NOK 15 billion from 2014 to 2015.

The central government’s total expenditure has increased by NOK 67 billion, or 6 per cent, form 2014 to 2015. Operating costs have increased by about 7 per cent. Central government investment has decreased by more than 3 per cent. Investments in government petroleum activities have decreased by 18 per cent. Transfers, which account for most of the central government expenditure, have increased by NOK 60 billion, or about 7 per cent from 2014 to 2015. Half of this increase is due to an increase in pensions and benefits paid through the National Insurance Scheme.

The surplus before net transfers to the Government Pension Fund Global was NOK 33 billion in 2015. This is NOK 119 billion less than in 2014.
