Norwegian Krone’s Freefall Puts Pressure on Government

📉 Norwegian krone’s freefall assails government | EBC Markets Briefing 📉
The Norwegian krone, one of the worst performing among top 10 most frequently traded this year, languished around its record low against the US dollar and the euro on Tuesday.
The decline in Norway’s currency has been so dramatic that a former government minister recently resorted to a radical proposal — pegging the krone to the euro. The Swiss franc was pegged to the euro until Jan 2015.
Another proposal was to establish a “krone commission” to look at what has happened to the currency. The weakness is causing consternation among businesses, with companies forced to raise the price of imports.
Inflation rate fell below 3% in June for the first time in three years. The Norwegian central bank left interest rates unchanged at its meeting last week and said they were likely to remain there “for some time ahead”.
The Swedish krona has also been ill-fated in recent years. Unlike the ECB, Sweden’s Riksbank and Norway’s central bank has yet to cut rates in this current cycle in order to prop up their currencies.
Economists and currency strategists believe there are rational explanations for the decline. The first leg down coincided with a drop in the oil price in 2014 and the second was due to the Fed kicking off rate hikes.
The pair looks set to challenge its 200 SMA after bottoming up around 10.48, but range trading might be intact for longer term.
Norwegian Krone’s Freefall Puts Pressure on Government

In recent weeks, the Norwegian krone has experienced a dramatic decline, raising concerns and mounting pressure on the Norwegian government. This sudden drop in currency value has far-reaching implications for the country’s economy, impacting everything from inflation to international trade. The krone’s freefall is attributed to a combination of factors, including global market volatility, shifts in oil prices, and domestic economic policies.

As the krone continues to slide, Norwegian citizens are feeling the pinch through rising costs of imported goods and increased living expenses. Businesses are also facing challenges, with the weak currency affecting their ability to compete globally and manage costs. The government is now under intense scrutiny as it navigates these economic headwinds and seeks to implement measures to stabilize the currency and restore confidence.

In this video, we’ll explore the causes behind the krone’s freefall, its implications for the Norwegian economy, and the responses from government officials and economic experts. We’ll also delve into how this situation could impact ordinary Norwegians and what steps the government might take to address the crisis.
