Abstract

Norway’s near-term macroeconomic priority is to reduce risks arising from high-household debt by tightening macroprudential standards for mortgage lending while undertaking tax reforms to gradually reduce incentives for excessive leverage. Creating a stronger institutional framework for acroprudential policy would also assist risk mitigation in the future. With the output gap closing, fiscal tightening is needed over the medium term in the central scenario to rebuild precautionary buffers and ensure that fiscal guidelines are met on average over the cycle.
