Norway’s central bank begins the rate hiking cycle amid strong growth outlook
Our 2021 mainland GDP growth forecast remains unchanged at 4.1%. With all domestic restrictions eased and the pandemic largely under control, the economy will rebound strongly this year.

- Growth in 2022 should also come in at 4.1%.
- A remarkable recovery in employment this year has been accompanied by a rising participation rate, disguising the true health of the labour market in the headline unemployment figures.
