WRI’s assessment
Norway’s Logistics Growth Index eased to 50.7 in September, slipping 0.1 points from the prior month and falling below its three-month average of 50.8. Despite the marginal pullback, seven sub-indices remained in expansion.
“Norwegian logistics is still expanding but cooling, with transport activity easing in September. Trade held firm and the labour market stayed resilient, but recent interest rate rises have made shippers cautious, prompting them to shorten contracts sharply.”
