Savings remain high in Norway
Revised figures for 2008 show that savings were NOK 757 billion, which is an upward adjustment of NOK 12 billion compared with the last release. Behind this development is a revision of operating surplus for the non-financial sector of NOK 22 billion.
For the household sector only small adjustments have been made since the last release. Disposable income for this sector has been revised upwards by NOK 0.9 billion and savings by NOK 1.8 billion. The savings rate, which measures savings as a share of disposable income, was 2.0 per cent compared to 2.1 per cent in March.
New figures for general government show that public savings were NOK 512 billion. This is a revision of NOK 11 billion, which is due to lower income from value added taxes (VAT).
