The Norges Bank's survey indicates a slight tightening in lending spreads, suggesting that credit conditions may be slightly less favorable for borrowers. However, household and corporate credit demand remains stable, with expectations of continued unchanged demand in Q1 2026. This stability might signify that while banks are becoming more cautious, overall borrowing appetite is not diminishing, which could imply a steady economic outlook.
