Norway's consumer confidence declined to 16.4 in the third quarter of 2018 from 19.6 in the previous period. It was the weakest reading since the third quarter of 2017, as consumers' expectations towards the country's economy next year fell sharply (1.3 vs 15.7 in Q2) and those towards the country's economy last year also deteriorated (16.3 vs 22.9). In addition, consumers' assessment on their own financial conditions next year weakened (23.1 vs 24.8) and their willingness to make large purchases softened noticeably (11.4 vs 18.3). "A reported rise in interest rates and increasing turmoil in the world economy can be some of the explanation for the case," says Idar Kreutzer, CEO of Finance Norway. The country's consumer confidence hit a 24-year low of -15.2 in the first quarter of 2016, due to a plunge in crude oil prices. Consumer Confidence in Norway averaged 17.41 Index Points from 1992 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 34.90 Index Points in the first quarter of 1997 and a record low of -17.40 Index Points in the third quarter of 1992.
