Background

Background and purpose
-
The Department for National accounts and Financial statistics in Statistics Norway launched a project in 2008 under the heading Financial and non-financial accounts in common tables &– towards integrated institutional national accounts.
The aim is to compile more harmonizes tables for institutional sectors accounts within the national accounts system: production account, distribution and use of income accounts, accumulation accounts and balance sheets. The plan is to release the first tables after the main revision of the national accounts system in Norway (2014).
At this stage we release preliminary tables for institutional sectors based on ESA 1995. The tables include statistics from the national accounts system which were released on ssb.no earlier in 2011. See subject 09.01 National accounts, Institutional sectors accounts and Financial accounts.
The tables for Norway are inspired by tables released for countries in the Euro area, which cover data from the entire accounting system in the national accounts.

Coherence with other statistics
-
The relationship between financial accounts and other parts of the national accounts system is given by the balancing item net lending/net borrowing. In theory (SNA 93 and ESA 95), net lending derived from the non-financial accounts should be identical to net lending derived from the financial accounts. However, experience shows that significant discrepancies occur for several sectors in the system.
