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...

Inflation has been slightly higher than projected. Measured by the consumer price index (CPI), inflation is now higher than 3%. A strong rise in prices for electricity and petrol has pushed up CPI inflation since autumn 2007. Inflation has increased in many countries. Oil and gas prices have risen further through spring. Capacity utilization in Norway is high. An ample supply of labor, strong productivity growth and considerable terms of trade gains through several years have boosted the growth potential of the Norwegian economy. Growth in the Norwegian economy seems to have slowed as expected in 2008 Q1. Enterprises in Norges Bank's regional network report high capacity utilization but moderating growth in most of the industries. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual con...

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is proposing regulations to implement certain statutory provisions enacted by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Specifically, in accordance with section 727 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commission is proposing regulations that would define the criteria for grouping swaps into separate swap categories and would establish methodologies for setting appropriate minimum block sizes for each swap category. In addition, the Commission is proposing further measures under the Commission's regulations to prevent the public disclosure of the identities, business transactions and market positions of swap market participants.

Modern American life is premised on the assumption that inexpensive oil will be available forever to fuel the transportation system. Yet growing worldwide demand for oil and tightening supplies strongly suggest that the days of cheap, plentiful oil are over. In order to escape the economic consequences of oil price volatility, consequences that are quite severe, it is necessary to electrify the short-haul transportation system. Electrification offers at least six advantages over the status quo: using electricity promotes fuel diversity; electricity is generated from a domestic portfolio of fuels; electricity prices are less volatile than oil and gasoline prices; using electricity is more efficient and has a better emissions profile than gasoline; using electricity will facilitate reduct...

Iran is viewed by many as a rising power that poses an increasing threat to regional and even global security. This view is wrong for three reasons. Iran's hard and soft power is exaggerated by most accounts; it is too limited to allow the Iranians to dominate the Persian Gulf let alone the Middle East, and its brand of Shi'ism has very limited appeal outside of Iran. Second, growing internal political and economic instability will seriously limit Iran's bid for regional dominance. Third, the failure to stop the Iranian nuclear program has led analysts to underestimate the ability of the other regional powers and the West to balance Iran and contain its influence, even if it acquires nuclear weapons. If these limitations on Iranian power are taken into account the rise seems destined to...
