Norges Bank Regional Network report Q3/26: Minor changes in growth prospects
StockNow breaking-news AI analysis
Norges Bank's Q3/26 report shows modest growth driven by defence and purchasing power, restrained by weak construction, declining capacity utilisation, and slowing wage growth projections.
News detail
Contacts point to improved household purchasing power, higher defence spending and data centre buildout as important growth drivers. At the same time, low construction activity is dampening growth. The share of network contacts reporting full capacity utilisation has been below its historical average over the past year, and in this survey, the share has fallen further. Contacts estimate annual wage growth of 4.5% in 2026 and 4.0% in 2027.
