Annual report 2012

2012 - an eventful year for Statistics Norway

For several years, Statistics Norway has modernised and streamlined the production of statistics in order to have the capacity to meet the increasing demand for statistics and analyses. 2012 has been no different in this regard, with the proportion of electronic reporting increasing to 84 per cent from 77 per cent the year before. Research was largely conducted according to plan. Economic outlooks, reports regarding the economic situation, and population projections received considerable media attention. There was a focus on good project management, efficient work processes, and control over finances and staff numbers at Statistics Norway in 2012. Meanwhile, plans for moving to Akersveien in 2014 started to fall into place, a number of departments underwent reorganisation, and several new directors started work.
