Economic statistics, national accounts and macroeconomic planning
Statistics Norway is the key actor in the production of official economic statistics and national accounts in Norway, and has a strong research department, where the focus is on research and policy analysis within the field of economics. This enables Statistics Norway to provide partner countries with support to national accounts, economic statistics as we all macro and microeconomic analysis. Statistics Norway is also supporting the tools NADABAS (national accounts, nadabas.net) and Statbus (Statistical Business Register, statbus.org).
Register-based statistical production
Statistics Norway has long been at the forefront of using administrative data for statistical production – especially within the field of economic and social statistics, including Civil Registration and Vital Statistics. Within the international statistical community, there is a growing trend for register-based solutions, and we see a growing interest in the use of register data to produce statistics in our partner countries.

People are the key to producing high quality statistics. Statistics Norway is working with partners to jointly find ways to help staff perform better, through training and capacity development. Statistics Norway partner with other NSOs in identifying training needs and establishing training programmes and training centres, with a focus on strengthening in-house training.
