Increase in imports

Norwegian imports reached a peak of NOK 29.8 billion in June, an increase of 32.2 per cent from June 2003. Exports came to NOK 43.7 billion, an increase of 28.3 per cent.

The import value recorded in June is the highest ever, except for the record high in March. In the export total of NOK 43.7 billion, 24.3 billion came from crude oil, natural gas and natural gas condensates, while 19.4 billion came from traditional goods. The export value of petroleum was 34.1 per cent higher and traditional goods 21.8 per cent higher than in June 2003. The increases are, however, partly due to the Whitsun holidays' in June last year.

Traditional goods seasonally adjusted

Adjusted for seasonality, the value of imports increased by 6.0 per cent from May to June and by 7.0 per cent during the last three months compared with the previous three-month period. The value of exports declined slightly during the same period by 0.4 per cent. The levelling out was partly caused by lower exports of fish and non-ferrous metals. From May to June seasonally adjusted exports rose by 6.1, partly due to increases in fish and metals.
