FX.co ★ Norway Consumer Sentiment Worsens in Q2

In the second quarter of 2025, Norway's consumer confidence indicator experienced a decline, dropping to -16.4 from the previously revised figure of -13.4 in the prior quarter. This represents the thirteenth consecutive quarter of negative sentiment, marking the most significant decrease since the third quarter of 2024. The decline in confidence can be attributed to increased pessimism regarding the national economy's prospects for the following year (a drop to -21.2 from 5.1 in Q1) and a more negative view of the past year's economic conditions (-52 from -35.2). Additionally, households expressed less optimism about their financial situations over the coming year (rising to 21.5 from 15.7), while their outlook on the timing for major purchases improved, though still negative, lessening from -33 to -14.5.
