Norway: Norwegians now shop at the border as before the pandemic

NordenBladet – Norwegians traded cross-border for NOK 3.6 billion in the 2nd quarter. This means that cross-border trade is back at the same level as before the pandemic.

New figures from Statistics Norway (SSB) show that Norwegians shopped for NOK 3.6 billion across the border during April, May and June this year.

“Cross-border trade has quickly risen to the same level as in the years before the pandemic,” says adviser Kristin Aasestad from Statistics Norway.

The quarterly figures now show that cross-border trade is at a level that corresponds to the second quarter of the years from 2016 to 2018. In the second quarter of 2019, cross-border trade was just over NOK 4 billion.
