Norway's Department of Finance announced that it will host a conference with Norges Bank on 2 and 3 March 2026 on the provision governing monetary policy, as part of its evaluation of the current framework that could result in changes to the provision. The evaluation was flagged in the 2025 Financial Market Report and has already included a call for written submissions from stakeholders. The conference is positioned as an input-gathering step ahead of the department’s assessment, and a written evaluation from Norges Bank is expected during March, following a request sent by the department in April 2025. The Department of Finance aims to complete the evaluation and announce any changes in autumn 2026.
