23 Why is Norges Bank so calm about high inflation
24 Why is Norges Bank so calm about high inflation
25 NOK will not depreciate forever
26 Wage growth will not accelerate to compensate for inflation
27 We have a nominal anchor
28 Shock absorber III: Fiscal policy The Government Pension Fund currently amounts to NOK 7,000bn (EUR 737bn) which is more than twice the size of the Mainland GDP and equals five annual national budgets. The budgetary rule: 4% of the fund (expected real return of the fund) can be spent over the national budget. The rule is to ensure that the fund itself would not be tapped. Thus the fiscal break even oil price is zero. In response to lower oil price public spending has increased. The fiscal policy stimulus is estimated to be 0.7% of the Mainland GDP in 2016.
