Forecasts for the Norwegian Labour Market

Overview of forecasts for 2023 to 2026 on key indicators from national and international forecasters.

Forecasts are sourced from a range of national and international organisations, such as Statistics Norway, the Central Bank of Norway, social partners, banks and the IMF and OECD. The complete list of included forecasts, accompanied by links to their respective publications, can be found below.

The page covers several key indicators for the Norwegian labour market and economy, including unemployment, wages, Mainland-Norway economic growth, and inflation. For every indicator, a table with the forecasts by year is presented, together with an unweighted “consensus” average. This consensus subsequently displayed in a chart alongside historical data. Note that forecasts older than 100 days from the present day are shown in the table but excluded in the calculation of the consensus.
