據彭博社1月17日報道，由于對化石燃料、魚類和金屬的需求增加，挪威去年的出口飆升至創紀錄水平。

挪威統計局周一在一份網站聲明中稱，作為西歐最大石油和天然氣出口國，挪威在2021年向海外銷售了價值1.38萬億克朗(1560億美元)的商品，增長了77%，全年貿易順差達到5310億克朗，也是有史以來最高的。

盡管新冠肺炎疫情相關限制措施發揮了作用，但化石燃料價格上漲正在強化央行繼續實施一系列計劃中的加息理由。挪威央行是發達國家中最強硬的央行之一。挪威克朗是今年10國集團(G-10)主要貨幣中表現第三好的貨幣。消息傳出后，挪威克朗在奧斯陸上午09:42上漲0.1%，至9.9881。

挪威2021年石油出口收入在天然氣危機中創下紀錄。

在天然氣價格創紀錄的情況下，天然氣出口價值比2020年翻了兩番，達到4758億克朗。去年12月天然氣出口再創新高，較前一個月增長31%。國外石油收入總計3496億克朗，是2008年以來最高水平。

2021年在石油產品、電力和金屬產品帶動下，挪威大陸出口激增22%，再創歷史新高，以鮭魚為首的魚類出口在12月和全年也創下紀錄。

Norway 2021 Exports Hit Record With 77% Jump, Led by Gas and Oil

Norway’s exports surged to a record last year, helped by higher demand for fossil fuels, fish and metals.

Western Europe’s largest oil and gas exporter sold 1.38 trillion kroner ($156 billion) worth of goods abroad in 2021, a 77% increase that led to a full-year trade surplus of 531 billion kroner, also the highest ever, Statistics Norway said in a website statement on Monday. 

Higher fossil fuel prices are cementing the case for the central bank, one of the most hawkish in the developed world, to move ahead with a string of planned interest rate hikes despite the effect of new coronavirus-related restrictions. The krone, the third best performer in G-10 sphere of major currencies this year, strengthened after the news, gaining 0.1% to 9.9881 at 09:42 a.m. in Oslo.

Mainland exports surged 22% last year to another all-time high, led by oil products, electricity and metals. Fish exports, led by salmon, also hit a record in December and the full year.
