Statistics Norway’s international accounts, published on 2 September, show Norway’s net international investment position rose by NOK 3,408 billion in the second quarter of 2026 to NOK 22,825 billion. SSB said this was the highest level recorded in the series.
The increase was driven mainly by market gains on Norwegian portfolio investments abroad; a weaker krone and NOK 470 billion in net lending also contributed. The current-account surplus was NOK 279 billion and the goods-trade surplus NOK 232 billion, separate measures in the same accounts release.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
