OSLO (Reuters) – The Norwegian mainland economy grew at a faster-than-expected pace in August, accelerating from the previous month, Statistics Norway (SSB) data showed on Friday.
August mainland GDP, a measure which excludes oil and gas production, rose 1.1% from July, SSB said, up from a revised 0.6% in July, while a Reuters poll of analysts had predicted an increase of 0.8%.
