Growth in approved budget
In the approved central government budget for 2007 total expenditure amounts to NOK 715 billion and total revenue NOK 1 026 billion. Compared to the revised budget for 2006, this represents an increase in expenditure and revenue of 3.9 and 3.7 per cent respectively.
The approved budget for 2007 implies a 4.5 per cent increase to NOK 469.0 billion in expenditure excluding the National Insurance Scheme compared to the revised budget for 2006. National Insurance Scheme expenditure is estimated to increase by 2.7 per cent to NOK 246.4 billion in the same period. The increase in central government revenue is mainly due to higher tax revenue. The estimate for 2007 is NOK 642.6 billion, compared to NOK 601.8 billion for 2006, an increase of 6.8 per cent,
The approved budget implies a surplus of NOK 310.8 billion before net transfers to the Government Pension Fund - Global. The corresponding figure for 2006 was NOK 300.5 billion.
Statistics Norway has updated the tables for central government revenue and expenditure by main items and expenditure by programme. The tables now contain the approved budget for 2007, the revised budget for 2006, and accounting figures for previous years.
