✅ PART 1 - What is Changing in Norway starting from September 2023

▶️ Local elections

Norway's population will head to ballot boxes nationwide on September 11th. The local elections will decide leadership at municipal and county levels.

The elections also act as a barometer for the national elections for 2025. The Labour Party and Centre Party will hope their election day results don't mimic the polls. Meanwhile, Norway's Conservative Party hopes to turn strong polling into solid election results

▶️ Update on fast-track work permit scheme

During Oslo Innovation Week, which runs between September 25th and September 29th, the findings of the first phase of a new pilot scheme that aims to cut down work permit waiting times will be unveiled.

The system, called the Kompetansespor (the competence track), aims to reduce the time it takes a foreign worker to be ready to participate in working life in Norway from around nine months down to just three days.

▶️ Toll road changes

In several toll areas, there is a rule that means only the first registered passage must be charged to the road user within a period

This rule is changing so that those without a toll chip on their car can also benefit from the cool-down period. This prevents motorists from being charged multiple times for entering a zone within a short period of time

▶️ Oslo's monthly transport ticket discount ends

Monthly travel tickets have been discounted by 40 percent and will cost 499 kroner rather than 853 kroner. During the period, a children's monthly ticket will cost 20 kroner, and a student ticket will cost 299 kroner for a 30-day travel card
Oslo City Council's scheme is being paid for via unused funding from last year

▶️ Interest rate increase

DNB Markets predicts that once the interest rate does peak, it is unlikely to fall until December 2024.
The key interest rate could be raised beyond forecasted targets if inflation continues to remain high and the Norwegian krone continues to remain weak.

✅ PART 2 - What is the outlook on Norway's labour market for foreigners beyond 2023?

As Norway's labour landscape continues to change, the prospects for foreign job seekers beyond 2023 are gaining significant attention

In Norway's dynamic job market, certain sectors are experiencing a surging demand for labour, while others are witnessing a shift in the balance

‼️???????? Norway's position as an attractive destination for international talent seems to continue to hold strong – despite the recent surge in prices, weakening krone, and housing shortage.

Although labour market shortages have improved slightly, the current level remains the highest for more than a decade, with the exception of 2019 and 2022

‼️???????? Based on the aforementioned survey, health and care services face the most pressing labour shortage. This shortage also extends to craft and industrial roles, highlighting the need for specialised skills across industries in Norway

While shortages have eased across much of the country, the Troms og Finnmark region remains an exception. In urban centres, Oslo and Øst-Viken are particularly affected by a lack of workers.
As highlighted by the NAV survey, a range of occupational groups bear the brunt of the labour shortage. These include healthcare roles, store and sales staff, cooks, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and primary school teachers.
