Finance Minister Stoltenberg flags three economic threats ahead of 2027 budget

Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg warned that three major risks loom over Norway's economy as the 2027 state budget is prepared.

In a meeting at the Finance Ministry in Oslo, Jens Stoltenberg cautioned that international economic uncertainty poses three specific dangers for Norway. He said the government must treat these risks seriously before finalising the 2027 budget proposal. The minister avoided using the word "concerned," preferring to stress the need for vigilance.

Why it matters

The budget shapes Norway's fiscal policy, and ignoring key economic risks could affect growth and public services.
