OSLO, March 31 (Reuters) - Norwegian headline inflation
is expected to ease to 4.9% in 2023 from 5.8% last year, a
publicly appointed commission said in a final report on Friday,
higher than its previous forecast for 4.8%.
With members from labour unions, employers' federations and
Statistics Norway, the commission's conclusions will influence
the outcome of Norway's annual round of collective bargaining.
Workers' pay can influence future inflation and is closely
monitored by the Norwegian central bank when interest rates are
set.
