Norway has rich natural resources (gas, mineraly, forest, hydropower, fish), and maintains a “Scandinavian” welfare model. The economy is a mix of free market activity and state ownership in key industrial sectors – giving it 30% of all stock value at the Oslo Stock Exchange. Large reserves of petroleum and natural gas in proportion the the population have been a boon the the economy since the 1960’s. Despite a very high cost of living, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world and this is expected to remain throughout the foreseeable future.

Media
Norwegian media has long been dominated by institutional publishers. Although less than in previous years, at over 50% Norway is known as having the highest newspaper readership in the world. There are many titles but ownership remains concentrated. Free newspapers are not yet as established as in many other European markets. Cable serves over 30%, matched by satellite. The rest of all homes are served by terrestrial television dominated by the two state channels, both with almost total reach. The Internet is of major importance with usership at over 90% usership; local social media platforms, the largest owned by major media stakeholders, are hugely popular.
