Norway's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) measures the level of consumer confidence in the stability of the country's economy. The index is calculated quarterly, based on a consumer survey conducted by Finance Norway among Norwegian households.
The respondents ask the following five questions in this survey:
- Has your household's financial situation become better, worse or is the same compared to a year ago?
- Do you think the financial situation of your household will be better, worse or the same a year later?
- Speaking about the economic situation in Norway in general, do you think the country's economy is generally better or worse than a year ago or is it unchanged?
- Do you think that the economic situation in Norway will become better or worse in a year or will it stay unchanged?
- Do you think that now is a good time for the population to buy larger household items or do you think it is a bad time?
The final indicator is calculated as a difference between optimistic and pessimistic responses, and the resulting value is divided by 5.
Positive readings indicate consumer confidence and a favorable economic environment in the country. Therefore, a higher than expected growth can be seen as positive for the Norwegian krone quotes. Conversely, lower values can push NOK quotes down.

A significant deviation of a real value from a forecast one may cause a short-term strengthening or weakening of a national currency in the Forex market. The threshold values of the indicators signaling the approach of the critical state of the national (local) economy occupy a special place.
