Increase in government revenue
In the Central government approved budget for 2006 total expenditure amounts to NOK 677 billion and total revenue amounts to NOK 934 billion. Compared with the revised budget for 2005, this represents an increase in expenditures and revenues of 4.0 per cent and 8.2 per cent respectively.
The approved budget for 2006 implies a 5.3 per cent increase in expenditures excluding the National Insurance Scheme. National Insurance Scheme expenditures will increase by 1.8 per cent. The operating surplus from petroleum extraction is estimated at NOK 121.1 billion, up 12.1 per cent compared with the budget for 2005.
The approved budget implies a surplus of NOK 257.1 billion before net transfers to the Government Petroleum Fund. The corresponding figure for 2005 was NOK 212.4 billion.
Statistics Norway has updated the tables for central government revenues and expenditures by main items and expenditure by programme. The tables now contain the approved budget for 2006, the revised budget for 2005, and accounting figures for previous years.
