Norway

After reaching a peak last year, the growth of activity in mainland Norway is projected to gradually moderate in 2008-09. Wage increases are currently edging up and import prices are no longer declining, both with unfavourable effects for inflation prospects and real incomes. The high level of household gross debt is projected to weigh on private consumption and lead to a higher personal saving ratio.
