Norway’s trade balance strengthened further in August 2026, with the surplus rising to NOK 100.4 billion, up from NOK 88.8 billion in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 15 September 2026, underscore a solid expansion in Norway’s external position over the month.
The increase of NOK 11.6 billion in the trade balance between July and August highlights continued resilience in Norway’s export sector relative to its imports. While detailed drivers behind the shift are not provided in the latest release, the data confirms that the country maintained and expanded its already substantial trade surplus heading into late summer 2026.
