摘要：Norges Bank has published new statistics on the purchase and sale of NOK for foreign currency. The statis-
tics provide information about activity in the market for NOK, and will be an important aid in monitoring
and identifying mechanisms in the NOK market. The statistics on foreign exchange transactions show that
the average daily turnover in NOK of reporting banks in the period October 2005 - January 2006 was over
NOK 63 billion. Foreign banks dominate trading in the spot and swap markets, while non-financial enter-
prises are the largest operators in forward markets. NOK/EUR trading makes up the bulk of spot transac-
tions, while NOK/USD trading dominates swap transactions. The currency distribution in forward transac-
tions is more even.
