Norway gives more foreign aid per capita than any other OECD country

In 2023, Norwegians gave $1,160 in foreign aid — more than twice the amount contributed by people in other large Western countries.

By comparison, people in countries like the United States and Japan gave much less, at $190 and $155 per person, respectively.

One factor behind Norway’s substantial foreign aid is its sovereign wealth fund, built from oil revenues. The fund is valued at around $1.8 trillion — about the size of the Australian economy — and provides financial resources that few nations can match.

Still, its generosity stands out: Norway also leads in foreign aid as a share of national income.
