In Norway, the Finance Norway and TNS Gallup consumer confidence survey measures the level of optimism that consumers have about the performance of the economy. Generally consumer confidence is high when the unemployment rate is low and GDP growth is high. Measures of average consumer confidence can be useful indicators of how much consumers are likely to spend.

Latest Updates

Norway’s consumer confidence indicator rose to -3.7 in the fourth quarter of 2025 from a downwardly revised -4.5 in the previous quarter. This marked the fifteenth consecutive period of negative sentiment but the least pessimistic reading in the sequence, as consumers became less negative about the country’s economic outlook for the coming year (-24.4 vs -28.3 in Q3) and viewed the time for making large purchases as slightly less unfavorable (-8.9 vs -9.1). Meanwhile, households turned slightly negative about their own finances over the past year (-0.1 vs 6.9) and were less optimistic about the future (10.1 vs 21.8). At the same time, consumers became more negative about the country’s economic performance over the past twelve months (-8.3 vs -3.3).
