The key interest rate is likely to remain at its current level for quite some time

The Monetary Policy and Financial Stability Committee of Norges Bank decided at its meeting on May 2 to keep the main interest rate unchanged at 4,5%, we read in a press release from Norges Bank.

– Based on our current assessment of the outlook, the interest rate is likely to remain at its current level for quite some time, says Central Bank President Ida Wolden Bache.

Main interest rate at 4,5 percent for a longer period of time

The commission estimates that the rate procent is high enough to bring the price dynamics down to the target of 2% within a reasonable time. Monetary policy appears to be tightening and the Norwegian economy is showing low growth. Price growth is slowing but still well above target. Business costs have increased significantly and high in recent years wage increase and a weaker krona help keep price inflation high.

Expectations regarding interest rates abroad have increased

Since the last report, price dynamics have been slightly lower than forecast. On the other hand, economic activity is slightly higher than expected, and wage growth may seem slightly higher than forecast. At the same time, expectations regarding interest rates abroad have increased, and the koruna is slightly weaker than expected. Before the next one committee meeting on interest rates in June will receive more information on economic developments. We will then present new forecasts. Based on the information we have so far, we may need to keep interest rates higher for a little longer than we previously anticipated.

There is uncertainty about the economic outlook. If it becomes necessary to raise interest rates again to bring price increases to the target level within a reasonable time, the committee stands ready to do so. If there is a more severe slowdown in the Norwegian economy or there is a prospect of inflation falling more quickly to the target, interest rates may be reduced earlier than we predicted in March.

The Norwegian government will ban marriages between close relatives

The ban will apply to marriages concluded between close relatives. It includes marriages between cousins, uncles or aunts, and nieces or nephews.

Prohibition of marriages between close relatives

– The reason for the ban is to avoid harm to children's health. A ban could also prevent forced marriages. The right to marry and the right to family life are fundamental human rights. Therefore, the ministries have carried out a thorough assessment in terms of human rights and EEA law obligations, says Minister of Children and Family Affairs Kjersti Toppe.

In 2020, Ap, Sp and FrP presented an encouraging resolution to the Storting to present such bill, which the ruling party is currently working on.

An exception rule has also been proposed, whereby an exemption can be sought if there are compelling reasons to make an exception.

Consumer complaints. The government wants to ensure faster processing of complaints

The government wants to provide a good, attractive offer for all consumers, we read in the press release. Consumers must still be able to complain about all types of goods, regardless of price, but measures are needed to ensure that consumers are quickly helped in the event of a complaint.

Join the Wataha – turn on Radio Wataha

Consumer complaints to the seller

If a consumer wants to make a complaint about a product, he or she can first submit the complaint to the seller himself. This is how most consumer complaints are resolved. If the buyer and seller do not reach an agreement, they may resort to mediation before the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority. Parties who fail to reach an agreement through mediation may refer the matter to the Consumer Complaints Commission.

In 2023, the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority received 10 cases and processed 684 cases. The average processing time was 8084 days. The number of cases received for mediation in 115 was more than 2023 proc. higher than in 2022, therefore the processing time is longer. Last year, the Consumer Complaints Commission received 1001 cases. In 2023, the average selection processing time was approximately one year, but in recent years it has ranged from a short period to more than two years.

Consumers who have to wait a long time for their case to be resolved, e.g. in the case of a dispute regarding a faulty car, find themselves in a difficult situation. The alternative is to take the case to court. For a good offer, it is therefore important that the consumer receives help quickly.

The government wants to ensure faster processing of complaints

The Ministry presented proposals regarding fees for handling cases and limits on the value of complaints, which are dealt with by the Consumer Protection Office and the Consumer Complaints Commission. The government has listened to the responses received in the consultations and so far no introduces value limits.

– We want to provide consumers with a good and high-quality offer. I received useful information that mediation at the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority and the offer of the Consumer Complaints Commission should be available for all cases, both low and high value. We therefore do not want to set limits on the type of cases that can currently be appealed, says Minister of Children and Family Affairs Kjersti Toppe.

To ensure proper prioritization of resources needed to deal with complaints, the Government still considers it necessary to introduce fees in the amount of NOK 255 (0,2 court fee) for mediation at the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority and NOK 1277 (court fee) for filing a complaint with the Consumer Complaints Commission.

The fee constitutes a smaller part of the costs of considering the complaint, and the state will still cover over 90%. costs.

– The aim of the proposal was to strengthen consumer protection so that the offer was effective and good in matters most important to consumers. "I don't think it is unreasonable for those who want to take advantage of this good offer to pay a small amount of their own to have their complaint reviewed by the Consumer Protection Authority and the Consumer Complaints Commission," says Toppe.

Carrying fee matters will stay introduced from July 1, 2024

Vision problems affect an increasing number of young people

More young people in Norway have vision problems. This is shown by the Consumer Survey 2024, in which Kantar interviewed 1400 Norwegians over the age of 15 on behalf of the optical industry, which is the interest organization of Norwegian optical companies.

Vision problems of young Norwegians

The survey has been conducted every two years since 2005, and the percentage increased from 67%, but has remained stable since 2016.

There is a large increase among the youngest adults who currently wear glasses or contact lenses. More than half of people under 30 now use vision care, up from about a third in 2005.

What happens after forty?

After the age of 40, your vision changes and most people will need glasses to see well up close. Many people then experience that the text becomes difficult to read, which causes great frustration. However, this is a natural age-related process that occurs as the lens of the eye becomes stiffer.

Among the oldest people, over 75 years of age, well over 80% wear glasses.

While older people wear glasses, many young people choose contact lenses. Many people under 50 wear glasses and contact lenses at the same time. This has become more and more common in recent years.

We encourage you to consult ophthalmologists

After the age of forty, most people experience some changes in their visual abilities. This phenomenon, known as presbyopia, leads to difficulty seeing up close, often requiring the wearing of glasses for reading, writing or using electronic devices. As the lens becomes thicker and less flexible with age, its ability to change shape decreases.

More than nine out of ten people who wear glasses buy them from an optician after an eye exam. The rest use ready-made glasses or both, i.e. glasses adapted to the optician in combination with, for example, simple reading glasses.

Such ready-made glasses are now used less often than before. Their peak occurred in 2016.

The most important reason for purchasing new glasses is changes in vision. 78 percent say they notice a change in their vision after purchasing new glasses.

FACTS:

76 percent of all Norwegians over the age of 15 use visual aids such as glasses or contact lenses.

91 percent of people who wear glasses have their glasses adjusted by an optician.

Among people who wear glasses or contact lenses, 83 percent say they have a high level of trust in their optician.

16 percent do not know that it may end in prison. Would you stop a drunk driver?

Would you stop a drunk driver from getting behind the wheel? 16 percent of Norwegians are not sure. However, this may result in a prison sentence.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the most harmful social road-related behaviors. This practice not only poses a threat to the life and health of drivers, passengers and other road users, but also has negative consequences for society as a whole.

Would you stop a drunk driver?

Criminal laws from 2015 state that you can be punished for your involvement in violations of the law, such as driving under the influence of alcohol.

It is a violation of the law when you know that the driver has been drinking. You can be charged even if you were not a passenger in the car.

Driving under the influence of alcohol can result in prison

In 2022, three people were convicted of being involved in drunk driving after a fatal crash. Three people exited the car before the accident, but were convicted in a case that went to the Supreme Court.

This spring season, another case will go to the district court. A 19-year-old man died in a car accident, and both the driver and his three passengers were charged.

Driving under the influence of alcohol. Facts

Rules and penalties related to driving after drinking alcohol. The alcohol limit in Norway is 0,2

– From 0,2 to 0,5 per mille: usually a fine, but your driving license may also become invalid for some time.
– From 0,5-0,8 per mille: it's a fine and your driving license is revoked for a period of 12 to 18 months.

If an accident has occurred, the confiscation of your driving license may be extended. This of course also applies to higher blood alcohol levels.
Fines in alcohol-related cases are determined depending on the income of the person caught.
You are also reminded that many factors, such as gender, age and weight, influence the level of alcohol in your blood after one drink.

According to data from the University Hospital in Oslo, a woman weighing 58 kilograms can reach the alcohol limit of 0,2 by drinking 0,33 liters of light beer. The same level of alcohol in the blood can be reached by a man weighing 70 kilograms by drinking 0,5 liter of light beer.

Law enforcement is essential

Education, strict regulations and law enforcement are essential to reduce the social harm caused by drinking and driving. However, to effectively reduce this problem, it is also necessary to change social attitudes and promote responsible driving behavior.

It was important for the state that the parties could reach an agreement on a common main tariff agreement and that we remained within the frontline phase, says Karianne Tung, Minister of Digitization and Administration.

This year, a main agreement was reached, under which the parties in the country negotiate financial issues and all elements of the main tariff agreements. The state's main demand was a common master tariff agreement for the state tariff area. This is important to prevent unintended differences in pay for workers in the same positions within the state. The agreement is also important so that companies in the state can best manage local wage policies.

What happens if I don't check my tax return?

389 bus passengers caught without seat belts

Of the almost 5000 bus passengers checked, almost 400 were caught not wearing seat belts. The least bright were the people of Vestland.

Bus passengers caught without seat belts

Last week, the Norwegian Public Roads Authority carried out checks across Norway for wearing seat belts.

Best in Innlandet

The majority of passengers checked were Innlandet (862), followed by Vestland (751), Nordland (556) and Telemark (518).

A total of 389 passengers were not wearing seat belts, including 369 people over the age of 15.

The highest number of passengers with unfastened seat belts was recorded in Vestland, where 108 passengers over 15 years of age traveled without seat belts.

In Innlandet, where most passengers were checked, only 18 people over 15 years of age were not wearing seat belts.

– Our goal is to make as many people as possible more aware of the rules of wearing seat belts also on buses. We want it to become a good habit, just like wearing a seat belt in a car. Any increase in seat belt use above current levels is positive, says project manager Ingvild Ryengen-Bjerke of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

Also read: "Thanks Jimi Festival" in Norway: A wonderful musical feast for the 14th time

The level of acceptance of the obligation to wear seat belts on buses is high

Active reminders have a positive impact on seat belt use. Research shows that the level of acceptance of the obligation to wear seat belts on buses is high, but currently awareness is still low.

In the event of an accident, the weight of a human can be equal to the weight of an elephant

– By fastening your seat belts, you also contribute to the safety of other people on the bus! The checks help remind passengers that in the event of an accident, their weight could be as heavy as an elephant, Ryengen-Bjerke says.

The lack of knowledge many people have about the risks is what makes this work so important.

– Thanks to our inspections, we remind you how important it is to wear seat belts - also on buses - and at the same time we provide important information about the potential damage in the event of an accident.

The Norwegian krone is too weak – There will be no interest rate cuts this year

The world is facing the most challenging changes since World War II, related to growing geopolitical tensions, the climate crisis, war and terror - we read in a statement from Spare Bank 1.

The Norwegian krone is too weak

More and more countries are arming themselves intensively and limiting domestic production, which contributes to increasing economic growth and maintaining high price inflation. The world is slowly descending into a war economy, which is affecting both interest rates and the stock market. The growth of the US economy is now twice that of other G7 countries and is driven by a strong desire for military investment. Productivity growth and innovation are strong in the U.S., driving up the stock prices of U.S. technology companies.

The US has adopted a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and several European countries need to follow suit. This will result in increased activity, investment and labor demand. For this reason, global price dynamics will remain high in the future and it is uncertain whether there will be a need to reduce interest rates in the US this year.

Norges Bank. There will be no interest rate cuts this year

On May 3, Norges Bank will hold an interest rate meeting and, in our opinion, it will have to signal that it is not certain whether there will be a cut in interest rates this year. What contributes to the need to keep the interest rate "higher for longer" is:

Price growth in Norway is still well above target
The koruna exchange rate may weaken further
The salary settlement was higher than Norges Bank expected
Productivity growth in the Norwegian economy is close to zero
Increased political risk weakens the desire to invest; both increased property tax, land rent tax and exit tax reduce the willingness to invest
Foreigners are net sellers of Norwegian shares
Norwegian savings capital is increasingly leaving the country
Housing prices are rising due to low levels of housing construction, while high immigration increases demand and increased costs of ownership drive up rental prices
The value of the oil fund is growing rapidly, including: as a result of the weaker koruna exchange rate, and will result in increased expenditure above the state budget next year

Join the Wataha – turn on Radio Wataha

The weak exchange rate of the koruna is an obstacle

Because we believe that the single factor that Norges Bank will place the most emphasis on is preventing the krone from weakening further.
