Exports dominated by telecommunications
External trade with ICT goods is growing, but in less degree than the trade with traditional goods. Imports of ICT goods are dominated by computers and related equipment, while exports are dominated by telecommunication equipment. Exports of ICT goods are highest in Oslo and Akershus and lowest in Hedmark and Oppland.
In 2006, exports and imports of ICT goods amounted NOK 13.9 billion and 39.8 billion respectively. Compared with 2005 this is an increase of 16 and 15 per cent respectively. However, this progress is lower than the trade with traditional goods.
Exports of telecommunication equipment and imports of computers
Exports of ICT goods are dominated by telecommunication equipment. That amounted to NOK 4.6 billion or 33 per cent of total exports of ICT goods in 2006. In the same year, imports of computers and related equipment amounted NOK 15.3 billion. This was an 5 per cent increase from the previous year.
The statistics comprise the product group audio- and video equipment, computers and related equipment, electronic components, telecommunication equipment and other ICT goods. The delimitation is worked out by OECD and differs a little from the definition used earlier in this statistics. Because of this the figures published in this article can differ somewhat from the figures published earlier years. Preliminary figures from the External trade in goods constitute the foundation for the article. All figures are in current prices. See About statistics for more information . |
