This statistics bank shows how business has made use of ordinary and extraordinary support schemes throughout the corona crisis.

A number of measures were initiated to increase activity in Norwegian business, prevent unnecessary closures and to get as many people as possible into work during the corona crisis. Several actors in the industry-oriented instrument apparatus were given additional tasks and new extraordinary measures were created, such as the compensation scheme through the Tax Agency. 

In order to be able to monitor the use of the measures, the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries has commissioned Innovation Norway to expand its reporting to include regularly updated data on how the measures affect business. Innovation Norway has, with assistance from Societal Economic Analysis, also obtained information on schemes other than its own in order to get a more complete picture of the use of measures. 

The statistics bank contains statistics on allocations per week from the business-oriented policy apparatus. The statistics bank is updated every month and contains data from week 1 of 2020.
