Norway has a stable, affluent economy but will nevertheless be affected by the global economic downturn. However, Norway’s economy is expected to recover much sooner than other Nordic countries. Real GDP growth is expected to fall to -2.0% in 2009, according to figures from the Economist Intelligence Unit, rising to 1.8% in 2011 and 2.1% in 2012.

Healthcare expenditure has continued its steady growth in recent years, increasing by 7.0% to reach NOK217.2 billion (US$38.5 billion) in 2008, with private expenditure accounting for around 16% of the total.

Due to the small scale of domestic production, any increases in market demand are likely to be met by imports. In 2007, imports were US$941.5 million, an increase of 10.7% over 2006, with a CAGR of 12.1% for the period between 2003 and 2007. There was a balance of trade deficit of US$585.5 million in 2007.
