Drivstoffprisene: – Bruker 500 kroner hver dag
Etter at de midlertidige avgiftskuttene på drivstoff utløp har det blitt dyrere å fylle tanken.
Many Norwegian motorists are spending around 500 kroner each day on fuel, with prices soaring above 30 kroner per liter at over 1,100 stations in the country last Thursday. Drivers are making the long journey to Sweden to fill up their tanks as there's no price relief at some stations.
Even Larsen, who commutes between Skøyen and Gardermoen daily, notes that his fuel consumption increases with rising prices. "It's frustrating, but we have to grin and bear it," he says.
Senior strategist Sara Midtgaard believes the central bank will raise interest rates on Thursday, though she stresses that the outcome remains uncertain. Midtgaard points out that fuel prices only account for two percent of the consumer price index (KPI), suggesting their impact on inflation may not be as significant as some might think.
Despite high fuel prices affecting households differently, with some choosing not to drive or own electric vehicles, Norges Bank must make significant adjustments during the meeting to bring inflation down to the target of 2 percent.
