Norway's financial system appears sound and well managed. Short-term vulnerabilities appear low overall, given improved macroeconomic conditions and historically low interest rates, coupled with generally prudent and transparent policies. Beyond the short term, however, rising household debt levels are the most important potential risk factor and will need to be watched closely.
