💶 Incomes

Economic analysis shows the country’s lowest earners experienced the largest income growth, a trend expected to surprise a public more accustomed to hearing about the cost of living. The housing market is less buoyant: properties are being listed in record numbers, yet three out of four viewings are currently ending without a sale. The government is asking Parliament for 26bn kroner to buy climate quotas abroad, a move that has met domestic resistance from those who would rather see the money spent on domestic emissions. In schools, absenteeism is finally falling; high school students are reporting that they still attend school even when they are sick. The bank DNB will reduce the number of free withdrawals on its plus-savings accounts to four per year from January, a move that has already drawn criticism. Meanwhile, an NRK investigation has detailed a criminal underworld of money, weapons, and murder, and the Pope has undergone successful surgery for cancer.
