Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2022, Norway's GNI per capita (constant LCU) rose 192,903 on 2021 (from 776,087 to 968,990).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2021), the average change was +12,771 and a typical year strayed about 34,010 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 5.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 192,903 in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 73,927 in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
