Norway's consumer confidence indicator was at -11.7 in the second quarter of 2022, moving into the negative territory for the first time since the first quarter 2021 from a downwardly revised 0.7 in the previous quarter. The latest figure was also the weakest reading since the second quarter of 2016, as both expectations towards the country's economy last year (-30.6 vs 5.0 in Q1) and the gauge measuring expectations towards the country's economy next year (-28.2 vs 30.3) declined sharply. At the same time, both households' views on their own finances next year (-1.9 vs 14.0) and households' views on their own finances last year (-4.1 vs 15.4) turned to negative, while the willingness to make large purchases deteriorated further (-31.2 vs -21.0). “The cost of living is affected by high inflation, and there are prospects for a further rise in interest rates,” said Idar Kreutzer, CEO of Finans Norge. source: Finans Norge & Kantar TNS
