摘要：After over four years of strong growth, the Norwegian economy experienced
a pronounced turnaround at the beginning of 2008. Mainland economic
growth slowed appreciably as a result of both weaker global developments
and capacity restraints in the Norwegian economy. Until the early autumn
of 2008 most projections – including Statistics Norway’s own – pointed to a
soft landing for the Norwegian economy. Then, however, problems in global
fi nancial markets escalated dramatically, particularly after US investment
bank Lehman Brothers fi led for bankruptcy in mid-September. From this
point on, the outlook for both the Norwegian and the international economy
deteriorated rapidly.
