Fixed assets in foreign countries increased

The largest non-financial Norwegian companies had a total of NOK 1 133 billion in assets in foreign countries at the end of 2008. Almost three quarters of the assets were fixed assets.

Total assets in foreign countries rose by just 1 per cent from the third to the fourth quarter of 2008. Fixed assets in foreign countries increased by over 9 per cent, from NOK 746 to 816 billion, in the same period. Total and fixed assets went up by about 19 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2008.

Current assets in foreign countries - which to a greater extent are valued at market value - decreased by NOK 61 billion, or 16 per cent, from the third to the fourth quarter of 2008. The current assets rose by NOK 47 billion, or 17.5 per cent, from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth 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.
