Norway's Statistics Bureau reported that the country's crude oil exports in March reached a historical high of 57.4 billion kroner (6.08 billion dollars), marking a 67.9% increase from the same period last year, due to increased oil prices caused by war and the practical closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The average oil price in March was 1,014 kroner (107.52 dollars) per barrel, the highest since September 2023.
