5 billion deficit

Preliminary figures show that local government had a deficit before financial transactions of about 5.2 billion in 2001, approximately the same level as the previous year.

Both revenues and expenditures increased in 2001. Revenues increased by 9.1 per cent, while current expenditure increased by 9.4 per cent. This left local government savings almost unchanged. The increase in total local government revenues is mainly attributed to higher Tax revenues. Tax revenues increased by NOK 14.1 billion from 2000 to 2001. This is a growth of 15.1 per cent, which is a much stronger growth than recent years. Also central government transfers improved from 2000 to 2001, and showed a growth of 4.5 per cent.

Gross fixed capital formation increased by approximately NOK 1 billion in relation to 2000 in current prices. Gross fixed capital formation in 2001 was 11.4 per cent of total revenues, and this is a small decrease compared with recent years.

Net borrowing

The local government deficit or net borrowing - a major indicator in assessing the health of local government finances - was approximately NOK 5.2 billion in 2001.
