The statistics describe the activity of foreign-controlled enterprises in a country. An enterprise is deemed as Norwegian-controlled when a Norwegian institutional unit controls, directly or indirectly, more than half of the shares or voting power. The statistics are compiled according to the ultimate controlling institutional unit (UCI) concept. In a chain of control, UCI is defined as an institutional unit that is not controlled by another institutional unit.

The statistics cover a sample of the Norwegian-controlled enterprises abroad. Only economically active enterprises are included in the population. The statistics are based on a cut-off sampling survey, and cover the largest Norwegian-controlled enterprises abroad in addition to a sample of smaller enterprises. The size of the sampling survey has increased since the first year (2008), but all of the largest enterprises have been included throughout.
