Fixed interest loans in Norway

Fixed interest rate loans give predictability for interest costs, and can be regarded as an insurance against increasing interest rates. There are several possible reasons for the traditionally low share of loans with fixed interest in Norway. It may be that borrowers consider fixed interest more of a speculation than insurance. Another explanation for the low share of fixed interest loans may be that the Central bank’s projections for the key policy interest rate are clearly communicated.

Institutional sector classification 2012

The institutional sector classification has been revised. New four-digit sector codes have been introduced and the definitions of some sectors in the classification have been changed. The sector classification in the fixed interest rate statistics was altered as from the 1st quarter of 2012. This may influence the time series for households and non-financial private companies, for example, due to sector movements, while this change should not have any impact on the data on Norwegian employees.
