Assets in foreign countries rose by NOK 107 billion, or 12 per cent, from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a survey of the 600 largest non-financial companies. The size of the company is measured by assets and liabilities in foreign countries, shares in foreign countries and shares owned by foreigners.

 

The data are based on accounting legislation, and the values do not necessarily give a good picture of the real value or market value of the assets in every case.
