General public

Annual data for interest on deposits is available from 1955, quarterly data for interest on deposits and loans is available from the 4 th quarter of 1979. For the period from the 4th quarter of 1979 to the 1st quarter of 1986, the interest rates for loans (including non-performing loans) and interest on deposits in banks, are estimated by combining the data from the annual interest rate statistics that provided average interest rates at the end of each year, with data from the quarterly interest rate statistics, which gave the highest and lowest rates on new loans. From the 2 nd quarter of 1986, the source was Norges Bank’s quarterly interest rate statistics, with exceptions for the 4 th quarter of 1986 and the 4 th quarter of 1987, when the data were taken from the annual interest rate statistics.

The statistics were transferred from Norges Bank to Statistics Norway on 1 January 2007.

Data sources and sampling

The financial market statistics (ORBOF report 11, items 25 and 26) except The Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund that reports on excel spreadsheet.

The interest rate statistics are based on a total count.

Collection of data, editing and estimations

The majority of the data for the interest rate statistics is based on data that is transferred from the ORBOF systems each quarter. Data from spreadsheets is also collected from The Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.

Automatic controls are carried out in the ORBOF system that list major changes from the previous quarter, and checks are made as to whether these agree with the reports 10 and 11. The control also shows extreme values for interest rates. In addition, the routine checks whether both interest and amounts have been reported on associated items. These are controls that are run upon receipt of ORBOF data, and which are automatically returned to the reporting party if there is a discrepancy in the controls.

Weighted average interest and commission rates are an average of interest and current commissions weighted with the associated loan/deposit amounts.

All average interest and commission rates are calculated at the end of the quarter and reported as annual rates as a percentage per annum from the 2 nd quarter of 1986.

Confidentiality

The interest data is not published if less than three units form the basis for a cell in the table.

Comparability over time and space

Revisions and changes in the coding can lead to breaks in the time series.

From the third quarter of 2013 non-performing loans are excluded in the calculation of interest rates.

Accuracy and reliability

Sources of error and uncertainty

The sources of error for the interest statistics are mainly errors in the data that is reported to the financial market statistics. Processing errors can also occur.
