construction of Norway Ken research
2Norway is a sovereign and unitary monarchy
situated in the western portion of the
Scandinavian Peninsula. Its economy is a mixed
economy with state ownership in the strategic
areas. The economy is driven primarily by
abundance of natural resources, including
petroleum exploration and production,
hydroelectric power, and fisheries. Albeit the
state holds control over most of the major
industries, its economy is quite open and has a
high ranking on ease of doing business index. The
service sector dominates the economy, closely
followed by the manufacturing sector. Norway even
though is not a part of EU but is a part of its
single market i.e. EEA.
3- The nation is known for its very high standard of
living and well integrated social welfare system.
It has the sixth highest GDP (PPP) per capita in
the world and ranks second in terms of wealth in
monetary value. Norway also sees one of the
highest hourly wage rate and productivity level.
Further, the public healthcare is almost free.
All the citizens have access to safe drinking
water and most of them have access to proper
sanitation facility. Thus, the nation has
consecutively topped the Human Development index.
The nation is said to be the most well
functioning and stable country in the world. - Ken Research, a market research firm says, Norway
is not a densely populated nation albeit has the
highest fertility rate in Europe. The immigration
is high and is responsible for majority of the
population growth. The unemployment rate is
notably lower than the global average and
majority of the citizen live in urban areas. The
country is comparatively peaceful and has a very
low rate of homicide. The nation is also amongst
the best educated countries.
4However, recently due to fall in the prices of
global oil prices has jolted the economy. The
interest rate is going down and the currency has
deprecated, this has led to fall in the consumer
confidence as the people are saving more and
spending less on big ticket items. Research

to 2020 Market Forecast says, Norway
construction industry is set to expand in the
upcoming years as the government invests in the
transport infrastructure. Government is planning
to launch a series of infrastructure projects
under fourth National Transport Plan (NTP)
2014-2023. The rising population, rapid
urbanization and low unemployment will support
the market. The market will further be driven by
the introduction of new technologies in
infrastructure and construction industry However,
the sector will face certain risks due to the
increasing labor and construction costs,
relatively weak economic growth picture, slow
down in spending on oil infrastructure.
5- In the 1950s the residential infrastructure
construction market was driven by the high
population growth in Norway but currently it is
ruled by high net immigration. In 2014, the
highest share in the construction industry was
with the residential construction. One of the
major challenges for this industry is presence of
a big number of unoccupied dwellings and housing
stock losses. Geographical factors impact the
demand for housing all over the nation, as net
internal migration increases the need for housing
the central areas also rise. - Key Topics Covered in the Report
