Higher disposable income

The disposable income of households less dividends went up by 8.7 per cent from 2nd quarter of 2007 to 2nd quarter of 2008 due to an increase in wages and salaries, pensions and social contributions from the government.

Households’ and non-profit institutions serving households’ (NPISHs) total income coming from wages and salaries less taxes were NOK16.5 billion higher than in the first quarter of 2007. Pensions and social contributions from the government sector were about 6.5 per cent higher than in the corresponding quarter of 2007. This was mainly due to the increase in pensions and sickness benefits. Sickness benefits have increased by 11.3 per cent during the first half of this year.

Revisions

Quarterly institutional sector accounts are based on preliminary calculations. The uncertainty is greater in the last quarter of the year. New information is continuously integrated in the figures, which means that the previously released data might be revised. Quarterly institutional sector accounts are consolidated against the data from the quarterly national accounts data as well.
