A strong sell-off in Bund futures yesterday reinforces the current corrective bearish condition and today’s fresh short-term cycle low, highlights a resumption of the bear leg. A continuation would pave the way for a move towards 128.52, a Fibonacci retracement. Key short-term resistance is seen at 129.40, the Nov 13 high. A clear break of this level would signal a possible reversal and the end of a corrective phase.

NORWAY: 2026 Budget Proposal: Key Figures

Oct-15 06:07

With the fiscal stance in line with Norges Bank expectations and having an approximately neutral impact on mainland GDP, the market reaction is limited.

  • Structural non-oil deficit spending in NOK (current prices): NOK579.4bln vs NOK534.2bln in 2025
    • A little above the ~NOK570-573bln estimates we saw from JP Morgan and DNB
    • “This includes continued support to Ukraine amounting to NOK 85 billion”
  • Structural non-oil deficit spending as a % of Government pension fund assets (fiscal rule stipulates maximum spending of 3% of the GPFG): 2.8% vs 2.7% in 2025
    • In line with Norges Bank expectations and the DN report just before 0700BST
  • Structural non-oil deficit as a % of mainland GDP: 13.1% vs 12.6% in 2025
    • Note this includes support to Ukraine, which totals 1.9% of trend GDP
  • Mainland economy fiscal impulse: 0.4pp vs 2.4pp in 2025.
    • After accounting for Ukraine support: “Calculations using the KVARTS and NORA macro models indicate that the budget for 2026 will have an approximately neutral effect on activity in the economy next year.”
