Press release | March 2015

Economic Outlook: Unconventional times

The monetary policy environment bodes well for the Nordic countries. – The economic outlook for the euro area will benefit the Nordic countries, which are all small open economies quite reliant on foreign trade, says Nordea’s Chief Economist Helge J. Pedersen.

In Unconventional times, several pages are devotes to the Nordic central banks and their new monetary policies:

  • Despite high economic growth the Swedish Riksbank has slashed its policy rate to below zero and launched an admittedly limited QE programme in an effort to drive inflation back up near the 2% target.
  • After many years in the slow lane the Danish economy has finally returned to the growth track. The Danish central bank has had to realise that new monetary policy instruments are now needed to defend its fixed exchange rate regime when the reference country for its currency peg introduces negative interest rates and quantitative easing measures.

The globalised world economy forced Sweden and Denmark to act unconventionally, explains Pedersen: – In neither of these countries do real economic developments call for interest rates in negative territory. This illustrates the monetary policy challenges that small economies face in a globalised world, no matter what their monetary policy regime is.

In the report, Nordea’s economists also provide their outlook on the Norwegian and Finnish economies:

  • As a result of the slowdown of the Norwegian economy caused by the sharp drop in oil prices, even Norges Bank may be forced to cut its policy rate sharply.  Norges Bank has an inflation-targeting strategy, and it is definitely possible that inflation in Norway will decline to a level where the bank will have to slash rates by more than seems justified by real economic developments.
  • Among the Nordic countries, it is actually only Finland that can be said to have a need for a highly expansionary monetary policy line. -The fact that the rate of inflation in Finland is one of the highest in the Euro area merely goes to show that economic paradoxes are still not a thing of the past, says Pedersen
