Interest bearing debt

Considerable uncertainty about future economic development

  • Improved international growth prospects
  • Consumer price inflation among Norway's main trading partners has receded in recent months due partly to gas and electricity prices
  • Futures prices for the coming year are lower than in December
  • GDP growth among trading partners is expected to dampen slightly, but still higher than earlier anticipated
  • Labor markets are tight, and wage growth is high in many countries – may contribute to sustaining underlying inflation
  • Weak krone due to international rates rising more than Norwegian interest rates and turbulence in financial markets
  • Improved growth outlook for Norway from December report
