Hide / Show Abstract

Norway has been hit hard by the global economic downturn, even if the decline in output is projected to be less sharp than in other countries. The export sector is severely affected, and domestic demand, mainly investment, is contracting rapidly. Despite this, rising labour costs and higher import prices following depreciation of the krone have kept inflation relatively high. The authorities reacted promptly to problems in financial markets with a number of measures to restore the normal functioning of credit markets and stimulate output.
