Norway's regional peers
Browse all of Europe & Central Asia →Norway holds #2 on the headline ranking, against 29 others we score in Europe & Central Asia. None of them reach a stronger band than Norway; 29 sit in a weaker one. Their split: 27 in 50–65, 2 in 35–50. Denmark tops them at #4; Kyrgyz Republic closes them at #127. No neighbour here outranks Norway; the nearest below is Denmark at #4. 2 of the 29 are monitored rather than ranked — the dashes below. One step down, most of the gap to the top is usually a single weak dimension. Without a week-earlier reading there is no direction to set against the table yet. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Questions about the Norway score
- What does a score of 66.3 mean for Norway?
- 66.3/100, band 65–80: the framework works, though print and promise are visibly apart. That is 16.3 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Norway's central bank has already done, said and delivered.
- How often is Norway's score updated?
- Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-08 run. There is no reading from seven days ago to set this one against. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-08 figure outright rather than revising it in place.
- What is the 65–80 credibility band?
- Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 65–80 is step 2. Norway clears its 65 floor by 1.3 and stops 13.7 short of 80. The step above is ≥ 80 and the step below is 50–65. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
