So can norwegians save 4,25 billion in interest costs
We hear now several speak up to support Norwegian jobs through to buy Norwegian food and act locally. It is a great encouragement.
As consumers, we should be far more conscious when it comes to how we can affect both the offerings of the community through acting locally, supporting the Norwegian producers of both food and other products
Nothing is as good as the sweet Norwegian strawberries, refreshing locally brewed beer or as nice as the Norwegian design. But when the Centre party leader, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, encourage you to buy the Norwegian to build our country, so he forget that every fourth employee in the Norwegian companies are working in quickly.
They are totally dependent on that we have trade with the world around us in order to participate in international value chains. Misunderstood nationalism and protectionism puts Norwegian jobs in danger. The EEA agreement ensures that Norwegian goods and services are produced so that the friction-free may be sold to our nearest market.
It is pretty arrogant and elitist to expect that most people, especially now when many are easier said than done for its own economy, to fill their homes with Norwegian handmade furniture and go in Norwegian design. Not because it isn’t good, but because it costs more, much more, than goods made for a global market.
Many of us have IKEA at home and goes to Hennes & Mauritz, because mass production of a big market provides lower prices and make many goods available to more.

A startling study from 2014 showed that the ten percent poorest would lost throughout the 63 per cent of its purchasing power if one closed the border to trade, because this group consumes more imported goods. The study included 40 countries, including 13 developing countries. Those with the lowest income, earns the most in the global competition and trade.
But what exactly is it to buy English? a few years ago, every third car that was manufactured in Europe aluminium from Hydro. “Made in EU” can mean partially produced by the Norwegian industry in Norway. We export technology, materials and parts sold into the international value chains, and comes back to us as whole products.
This ensures the production and Norwegian jobs throughout the country, and gives us opportunities we never would have had otherwise. If we would have been self-contained with something as simple as the ingredients of pain relievers such as Tylenol, so we had supplanted the Norwegian food production to the benefit to cultivate opium poppies, which today we import.
We might not actually be sjølberga at all. We are dependent on trade in order to build the country and secure Norwegian jobs the way we always have done. We shall build the country and support Norwegian jobs, we need to look longer than our own navel. To look to Europe and our nearest market and verdifellesskap is a good start.
