Norway’s unemployment fell more than expected, cementing the case for Norges Bank to begin post-crisis interest rate hikes later this month.
The seasonally-adjusted registered jobless rate declined to 2.7% in August, compared with the median estimate of 2.9% in a Bloomberg survey of economists that was in line with the central bank’s expectation published in June.
Norges Bank is moving ahead of most of the rich world in unwinding the crisis policies triggered by the pandemic as it prepares for a series of quarterly interest-rate increases from zero. It is expected to announce the first on Sept. 23. While unemployment trailed its forecasts for most of this year, labor market activity is now accelerating.
OSLO, Sept 3 (Reuters) – The Norwegian economy is set to grow rapidly in the next several years as it recovers from the impact of the pandemic, setting the stage for an imminent central bank rate hike, Statistics Norway (SSB) predicted on Friday.
“The reopening of society is well underway, and the upswing in the Norwegian economy continues. The COVID-19 pandemic will nevertheless continue to impact on the economy for a long time to come,” SSB said.
OSLO, Aug 31 (Reuters) – Norway’s government has proposed overhauling taxation of its oil and gas firmsby scrapping some incentives, it said in a surprise announcement on Tuesday, further heating up a pre-election debate over the future of the country’s top industry.
If passed by parliament, the proposals would remove deductions that some economists say encourage excessive risk-taking by oil firms, and would also cut reimbursements for exploration costs.
“The changes mean that the tax conditions will be tighter and have a more neutral effect on investments. At the same time, we are making sure that companies have predictable framework conditions,” Finance Minister Jan Tore Sanner said.
