Market Report, "Norway Country Risk Report Q4 2015", published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Fri Sep 11 2015


A sharp slowdown in hydrocarbons sector investment amid a collapse in global oil prices will weigh on Norwegian GDP growth in 2015 and beyond.

We expect a policy response to this weaker outlook, particularly on the fiscal side. The government has the option of dipping into the country's USD850bn sovereign wealth fund, and there is a rising likelihood of tax cuts and infrastructure stimulus being introduced in the 2016 budget.

The residential housing market has been a major contributor to overall real GDP growth for most of the past decade, but is set to cool over the next few years.

We envisage broad political continuity to the next election in 2017, with the Conservative-Progress minority coalition government achieving modest progress on its reform agenda.

We have lowered our 2015 and 2016 krone exchange rate forecasts versus the euro by 3.0% to NOK8.75/EUR and NOK8.60/EUR, respectively.
