Talk:Economy of Norway

GDP

Are the numbers on GDP in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP)? I noticed that the numbers don't agree with what is in the main article ($247 billion in 2007 in this article, vs. $451 billion in 2008 in the main article). If it is in PPP, perhaps that should be noted in the panel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.222.246.224 (talk) 19:46, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

EU

It isn't clear to me why it's POV to point out that Norwegian economic policy sought to harmonize with the EU between 1972 and 1994; the first thing Bratteli did was to get a trade agreement, and there are countless examples that prove my point. I won't revert for now, but will if this doesn't get explained. --Leifern 01:23, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

The POV I protested on in the paragraph lays in the sentence and Norway remains the only Scandinavian country outside of the EU. This is at best unnecessary to point out. When it comes to the sentence Although Norway's trade policies have long aimed at harmonizing its industrial and trade policy with the EU's, I agree it is NPOV, but also unnecessary as this is already clearly pointed out in the previous paragraph in a more precise maner. I therefor see no reason not to merge the paragraphs, but if you prefer another solution I will only insist on the removal of the POV sentence at the end. --Moravice 11:32, 23 December 2005 (CET)

It is a statement of fact that Norway is the only Scandinavian country that remains outside the EU; how can it possibly be biased? I don't even know what bias it's supposed to present...--Leifern 15:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Graph

The graph of Public vs. private consumption in Norway between 1865-2003 has no legend. It should definately be fixed, deleted or perhaps noted in the caption.

A MISTAKE

"...Electricity - production by source: fossil fuel: 0.4% hydro: 99.3% nuclear: 0% other: 0.4% (2001)"

99,3 + 0,4 + 0 + 0,4 = 100,1(!)% Uuu87 17:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Mistake, how? Any elementary math course will teach you rounding. Remember, 2+2 >= 2, < 6 62.249.182.218 17:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

99.3 + 0.35 + 0.35 = 100 rounded gives 99.3 + 0.4 + 0.4 = 100.1 <- Correct rounding, but wrong sum... — Preceding unsigned comment added by JanKB (talk • contribs) 21:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Vandalization

I just have to note that the page have been vandalized! The user who did this should get a warning im trying to revert the changes now... it's very dissapointing that someone will do this with such an article, could someone put a lock on the article?

Unclear writing

I offer two examples:

<<This has had a significant effect on Norway's agricultural policy, which has been reshaped to address population patterns rather than self-sufficiency.>>

What does it mean to say "agricultural policy has been reshaped to address population patterns"?

2. <<Although some pricing and distribution issues (e.g., alcohol and automobiles) remain unresolved, Norway's consumer, capital, and employment markets are increasingly approaching those of Europe in general.>>

What does it mean to say "some pricing and distribution issues (e.g., alcohol and automobiles) remain unresolved"? What are the issues? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.195.193.254 (talk) 13:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Question about public debt?

Why does Norway have public debt and at the same time it saves money through it's pensin fund? Does anybody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.90.148.102 (talk) 20:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

It is an interesting question, addressed by Norway's central bank here.StephenHudson (talk) 08:57, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

External dept wrong?

CIA world factbook say it is $2.232 trillion (30 June 2010). — Preceding unsigned comment added by JanKB (talk • contribs) 21:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree on that there is something wrong in the external debt. According to the state statistics bureau and the norwegian central bank, the gross external debt has been 0 since 31.12.2004. Ref: http://www.regjeringen.no/upload/FIN/vedlegg/OA/tabell1n.pdf

Map of exports

Im not sure how to read the map, but is Norway supposed to export some 20 billion to the northern sea or does these dots actully belong somewhere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.53.108.59 (talk) 18:59, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

External link to tariff data

Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC), a UN/WTO agency that aims to promote sustainable economic development through trade promotion. I would like to propose the addition of an external link (http://www.macmap.org/QuickSearch/FindTariff/FindTariff.aspx?subsite=open_access&country=SCC579%7cNorway&source=1%7CITC Market Access Map) that leads directly to our online database of customs tariffs applied by Norway. Visitors can easily look up market access information for Norway by selecting the product and partner of their interest. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 1) ITC is part of the United Nations, and aims to share trade and market access data on by country and product as a global public good 2) No registration is required to access this information 3) Market access data (Tariffs and non-tariff measures) are regularly updated

Thank you, Divoc (talk) 08:44, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
