Assets in foreign countries still rising

The largest non-financial Norwegian companies had a total of NOK 1 114 billion in assets in foreign countries at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2008, which was NOK 106 billion or over 10 per cent more than the previous quarter.

The companies’ assets in foreign countries rose by NOK 228 billion or over 25 per cent from the 3rd quarter of 2007 to the 3rd quarter of 2008. Most of the increase resulted from investments in foreign subsidiary and group companies, which, at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2008, made up about half of the companies’ investments in foreign countries.

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.
