Rising external liabilities

The largest non-financial Norwegian companies had a total of NOK 839 billion in external liabilities at the end of the first quarter of 2009, which was an increase of NOK 35 billion from the fourth quarter of 2008. In comparison with the first quarter of 2008, external liabilities rose by about NOK 100 billion or 13 per cent.

It is the increase in long-term external liabilities that caused the rise in total external liabilities for limited companies. Long-term liabilities rose by 9 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2008 and 19 per cent from the first quarter of 2008. While long-term liabilities went up in the first quarter of 2009, short-term liabilities went down by about 2 per cent.

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 is based on accounting legislation, and the values do not necessarily reflect the market value of the assets in every case.
