Norway Credit Indicator (C2) YoY
Published:
Twelve-month growth in Norway's domestic credit indicator C2, published by Statistics Norway.
Full explanation
Norway Credit Indicator (C2) YoY is the twelve-month growth in C2, the gross domestic debt of the general public (households, non-financial companies and municipalities) owed to Norwegian lenders, published monthly by Statistics Norway (SSB). It is a growth rate, not an amount, and is distinct from Norway's money supply (M3).
Why traders watch it
Credit growth, especially household debt, is a key concern for Norges Bank's assessment of financial stability and interest rates.
Stronger vs weaker outcomes
Faster growth than expected points to looser monetary and credit conditions and can support expectations of firmer activity or inflation; slower growth points the other way.
A higher reading means domestic credit grew faster over the past year.
A lower reading means it grew more slowly.
Higher means faster; lower means slower.
