Norwegian term or phrase: lnnskutt egenkapital

in a financial statement under Equity capital.

I would think that it means "paid-up captial," unless there are other suggestions.

I agree with Tore that this definition is long-winded, and can perhaps be overly specific here with respect to what "innskutt capital" may refer to. I took a look at some UK annual reports, and found a lot of them had "Share Capital" as a heading, and then "my" term underneath. Could this have anything to do with different reporting requirements/legislation between UK and NO, perhaps? "

Companies House provide a good explanation of "share capital" and other terms: "What is paid-up capital, uncalled capital, reserve capital and share premium? "These terms are used to describe the make-up of a company's share capital:
paid-up capital is the issued capital which has been fully or partly paid-up by the shareholders" . As for "called up: "A member is liable to pay up the nominal value of each of his shares and the amount owing to the company is a debt which can be 'called up'." (se: http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/about/gbhtml/gba6.shtml ).

See definistion of "innskutt egenkapital" here:

Conclusion: maybe it's enough here with "share capital". Hope someone corrects me if wrong.
