Financial Accounts for Households in 2023
Households' net financial assets have increased significantly over the last four years. This is illustrated by the seasonally adjusted net financial asset-to-income ratio, which rose from 78.2 per cent at the end of 2019 to 109.2 per cent of disposable income at the end of 2023. The net financial assets have grown strongly and faster than disposable income in the period.
Statelessness in Norway
Norway has good data on statelessness in the National Population Register. At the turn of the year, 1,626 stateless persons lived in Norway, but the number varies significantly from year to year. This variation is due to fluctuating immigration of stateless individuals and the transition to Norwegian citizenship. Stateless individuals can become Norwegian citizens after three years. Most stateless individuals in Norway arrived as transfer refugees or asylum seekers, many of them with Palestinian background. In addition, a few stateless individuals are born in the country each year. The main problem for stateless persons living in Norway is lack of a passport.
International statistics on statelessness
Norway has good statistics on statelessness but the statistics on this are very incomplete for most countries. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has taken an initiative to improve the statistics on statelessness, as well as for the other main target groups of the High Commissioner, namely refugees and internally displaced persons. Statistics Norway (SSB) has actively contributed to this effort.
1 600 Stateless Individuals in Norway
At the beginning of 2024, there were just over 1600 stateless persons in Norway. This marks a halving from 2011 and 2018 when the number was at its highest recorded level. Most of the stateless individuals come from Palestine and Syria.
