Norway’s core inflation eased in May 2026, with the month-on-month rate slowing to 0.4%, down from 0.7% in April 2026. The fresh data, updated on 10 June 2026, signal a moderation in underlying price pressures after a stronger increase in the previous month.
On a month-over-month basis, the “Actual” figure for May reflects the change in prices compared with April, while the “Previous” figure captures April’s change versus March. The step down from 0.7% to 0.4% suggests a cooling in core inflation momentum, a development that will be closely watched by policymakers and market participants assessing the trajectory of Norway’s price dynamics and potential implications for monetary policy.
