Very few countries in the world have our level of welfare.
De færreste land i verden når opp til vårt velferdsnivå.
This is not because of a lack of will on their part, but because of a lack of value creation.

Experience, both in Norway and in other countries, has shown that it can take time before reforms bring about a rise in productivity.

If we do nothing, things won’t just stay the same.
Alt forblir ikke det samme dersom vi unnlater å gjøre noe.
