Norway’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 3.4 percent from September 2025 to September 2026, according to figures released by Statistics Norway (Statistisk sentralbyrå - SSB). The CPI tracks price changes in goods and services purchased by Norwegian households. This index provides insights into the evolving cost of living for Norwegian consumers and serves as a key measure of inflation within the country. The data is crucial for Norges Bank when setting interest rates. Norges Bank aims to maintain price increases at or below a two percent target. The recent rise indicates a potential challenge to achieving this goal, and further monitoring will be required.
