Norway: Staff Concluding Statement of an IMF Staff Visit
November 17, 2016--Recent Developments and Outlook
The economy is slowly recovering from the shock of low oil prices. After remaining largely flat last year, mainland GDP expanded at a slow pace in the first three quarters this year, aided by supportive monetary and fiscal policies.
Inflation remains above the 2.5 percent target, largely reflecting lagged effects of last year's krone depreciation on imported consumer goods prices, whereas wage growth is very modest. Unemployment is expected to peak this year- albeit still at a low level- and is mainly concentrated in oil-dependent regions as the economy continues to adjust to declining offshore demand. The krone has strengthened somewhat this year alongside the recovery in oil prices. House price inflation accelerated again recently, particularly in Oslo and surrounding areas, and household debt remains elevated at 224 percent of disposable income.

IMF-United Kingdom: Fiscal Transparency Evaluation
November 16, 2016--Summary: Fiscal reporting covers the entire public sector and includes details of all stocks and flows. This places the UK at the forefront of fiscal reporting practices worldwide, as relatively few countries include the broader public sector within their reporting universe let alone provide full coverage of the public sector balance sheet.
The long delay in the publication of end of year financial statements is one area of weakness, but efforts are underway to address this.
