Norway’s total GDP captures all economic production generated nationally, while GDP per capita adjusts that output for population size. Because Norway has a relatively small population and a substantial resource sector, its per-capita performance can differ markedly from its total GDP ranking. Looking at both measures together provides a fuller view of economic scale, productivity, and output per resident.
