(RTTNews) - The Mainland Norwegian economy expanded more than expected in the third quarter, figures from Statistics Norway showed Thursday.

Gross domestic product advanced 0.5 percent sequentially in the September quarter after rising 0.3 in the June quarter. Economists had forecast a stable increase.

Meanwhile, overall GDP decreased 1.8 percent in the third quarter, reversing a 2.0 percent growth in the second quarter. The decrease was due to extensive maintenance on the Norwegian continental shelf.

On the expenditure side, household consumption grew by 1.9 percent, and general government consumption increased 3.5 percent over the quarter. Gross investment in Mainland Norway rose 0.8 percent.

The data showed that total exports and imports grew by 5.5 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, in the third quarter.
