The External debt statistics were subject to a major review in 2013 dating back to 2005. Text and tables in this publication contain errors. Updated figures are available in StatBank.

Fall in banks’ short-term external debt

Norway’s external debt was NOK 3 426 billion at the end of the third quarter 2010, 4 per cent lower than at the end of the second quarter.

External debt by 2nd quarter 2010 and 3rd quarter 2010 in NOK billion.

The fall in the external debt is mainly due to a reduction in the banks’ short-term debt. The banks external deposits were reduced from NOK 863 billion at the end of the second quarter to NOK 733 billion, a reduction of 15 percent. There were in comparison only small changes in the external debt position of the other sectors.

Shares and other equity capital are not included in external debt. The definition of external debt position is in line with the IMF’s definition.
