Changes and ranks are calculated from unrounded readings, so a change can differ by 0.1 from the difference of the rounded figures shown, and economies with the same rounded reading can hold different ranks.
WRI’s assessment
Norway’s Logistics Growth Index eased to 51.6 in May 2026, slipping 0.2 points but remaining firmly in expansion territory. The modest deceleration was primarily driven by a sharp drop in business sentiment as tighter financial conditions weighed on industrial confidence, alongside constrained transport capacity amid surging fuel costs and persistent driver shortages.
