Money market rate premiums have been high and volatile. The difference between money market rates and central bank key rates has been the widest since the international financial turbulence started in August last year. Norwegian money market rates increased sharply after international risk premiums spilled over into the Norwegian market. Foreign exchange markets have also been volatile. Investors have shown interest in the large and most liquid currencies. Growth is also slowing in the Norwegian economy. Household consumption has stagnated and house prices are falling. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual consumer price inflation of close to 2.5% over time. In recent years, inflation has on average been somewhat lower, but fairly close to 2.5%. A deep and protracted glob...

Consumer price inflation remains moderate even though the cyclical upturn in the Norwegian economy is in a mature phase. Underlying inflation has been fairly stable and ranged between 1% and 1 1/2% over a longer period. Growth in the Norwegian economy has been strong. High income growth and high income expectations, combined with low interest rates, have led to brisk growth in demand in the business, household and public sectors. So far, there are few signs of a slowdown in the Norwegian economy. There are prospects that the strong expansion will be sustained for a longer period than previously envisaged. The growth outlook for the world economy remains favorable. Monetary policy cannot fine-tune developments in the economy, but must counter the effects of large disturbances to the econ...

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

A prime factor of trade liberalization, investment, eludes a comprehensive coverage in the multilateral rule based regime under the World Trade Organization. The Agreement on Trade Related Investment Measures, though one exclusively concentrated on investment, has proved to be insufficient as regards various barriers facing liberalization of cross-border investment flows are concerned. The proposed Multilateral Investment Agreement of Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Group of countries also having failed to come up as planned, the field remains unoccupied even today. Therefore, it is high time that a consensus emerges at the multilateral level as regards basic rules of fair-play and liberalization of host-country measures towards foreign investment flows.
