The Oslo Stock Exchange has gained 50 percent, marking a significant period of growth in the financial market. Separately, chief economists Frank Jullum and Kjersti Haugland have criticized recent personal attacks on their profession during public debates, warning that such rhetoric risks undermining public confidence in official statistics. Road safety figures provide a more somber metric, with the Public Roads Administration reporting the highest number of traffic fatalities in a decade. Elsewhere, the country’s next major airport is facing what officials describe as great uncertainty just one year before its scheduled opening. Erling Braut Haaland is suing the airline Norwegian over its marketing tactics during the World Cup, while the Socialist Left Party is facing internal demands for a leadership change. In the property market, state rail operator Bane Nor has completed a sale-and-leaseback of its own newly built headquarters.
