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...

The financial crisis of 2007 has brought into sharper focus a set of rising global financial actors-the sovereign investors. In the form of sovereign wealth funds ("SWFs"), sovereigns have become an important player in the global financial market and its stability. Over the last decade, SWFs became more visible and more aggressive in the scope and form of their interventions in global finance. State-owned enterprises began to operate indirectly through subordinate legal persons that operate like privately held multinational corporations. In this new form, sovereigns are becoming a more significant presence in global markets, as owners as well as investors.

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...
