FX.co ★ Norway’s Core Inflation Cools Sharply in March, Month‑on‑Month Pace Nears Standstill

Norway’s core inflation slowed markedly in March 2026, with the month‑on‑month rate easing to 0.1% from 0.7% in February, according to data updated on 10 April 2026. The figures highlight a sharp deceleration in underlying price pressures after a comparatively strong gain the previous month.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest reading shows that core prices barely increased compared with February, whereas February’s 0.7% rise represented a much faster pace versus January. The comparison underscores a significant loss of momentum in core inflation as the first quarter drew to a close, signaling a potential shift in the short‑term inflation trend within Norway’s economy.
