In a significant downturn for Norway's economy, the Producer Price Index (PPI) has plummeted even further, hitting -6.9% in October 2025, as per the data updated on November 10, 2025. The current figures follow a previous indicator in September where the PPI had already decreased to -2.8% year-over-year.
The year-over-year comparison shows a widening gap that highlights the intensified price drop faced by producers. While September indicated contraction, October's steeper decline suggests pressures within Norway's industrial sectors might be exacerbating. The PPI measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output, and a negative PPI generally implies falling prices which can impact producers' revenue negatively.
This continuing downward trend raises concerns about deflationary pressures in Norway's economy and prompts further scrutiny on how producers and policymakers may respond to stabilize prices. The stark drop in October signifies a challenging environment for producers and could potentially ripple into broader economic implications if persistent.
