Periodicity See Notes.
Timeliness See Notes. Access by the Public Advance dissemination of release calendar See Notes. Statistics Norway compiles, according to SNA principles, summary data on Norway's foreign assets and liabilities at the end of each year broken down by financial instrument, debtor and creditor sector, industry and country, but with no functional breakdown. The two surveys are, however, not harmonized, and thus they cannot just be merged to obtain a functional breakdown of the stock positions. At the time Norway begins to disseminate data on the IIP, an advance release calendar that meets the requirements of the SDDS will also be disseminated.
