The interest rate statistics will now be published on a monthly basis, based on data from a sample of banks and mortgage companies. The new statistics will in addition to existing specifications include interest rates on new loans and information on floating or fixed rate (and fixed rate periods). The monthly time series starts in December 2013.
In addition to the monthly sample statistics, the interest rate statistics will publish figures based on a complete census of banks, mortgage companies, finance companies, state lending institutions and the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund every quarter. Quarterly figures are to be found in our Statbank and separate tables.
