The focus of Agriculture is on livestock breeding, so meat and sour-milk products are more than adequate to completely cater to all the needs of the local population. Of course, the excess is exported. Because of the mountainous terrain of the country, food cultivation, including the production of cereals is not so well developed. What is produced locally only makes up less than half of what the country needs. But, in spite of this, conditions were created for the growth of many vegetables and fruits in the countryside which not only satisfies the needs of Norwegians, but are exported. It should be noted that the tourism industry in Norway has been actively developing in recent years. Although, to date, the revenue generated does not exceed 7% of GDP. Specific weather conditions, coupled with incredible beauty of the country contribute to an annual increase in the number of tourists that visit the country. Accordingly, the level of service delivery is also increasing.
The primary objectives of the current policy of Norway are aimed at achieving the highest level of employment of the local population. To date, the network of state employment centers maximally helps citizens of the country with employment. At the same time, many companies invest in the training of newly hired employees, and also send those already working for advanced training courses in accordance with innovative technologies. Today, the number of employed people in the country has risen to 2.2 million people. GDP per capita is more than 90,000 dollars. The inflation rate by last year’s data was 4%, and the key rate is kept at the figure 0.6%. The public debt to date is 31% of GDP.
