The latest data from the Norwegian economy has prompted market participants to closely examine the implications for the country's financial landscape, particularly in relation to the actions of the central bank and the performance of the Norwegian krone.
Andrey Goilov, an analyst at RoboForex, provides insights into the key developments shaping the Norwegian economy. Notably, the statistics reveal a rise in inflation from 6.4% to 6.7% and an increase in the interest rate from 3.25% to 3.75%. These figures align with the challenges faced by many European countries, including the impact of food inflation and the volatility in the energy sector.

How would you comment on the latest data from the Norwegian economy and the actions of the central bank there, and what about the Norwegian krone as a result?
Andrey Goilov, analyst at RoboForex:
The latest statistics published in Norway demonstrated a rise in inflation to 6.7% from 6.4% previously and growth of the interest rate to 3.75% from 3.25%.
Norway faces the same problems that most European countries do: consumer prices are growing because of food inflation and the energy carriers sector is unstable.
Also, there are risks of a slowdown in the economy.
The growth of the interest rate must normally support the national currency, and this is what actually happens.
USDNOK has been declining since 31 May 2023. By now, it has reached 10.74 and might drop to 10.52 if the CB gives some signals of a further rise in the interest rate.
