Norwegian Minister of Finanse Sigbjørn Johnsen (Ap) fears an increased unemployment rate if the euro crisis continues.
- If the crisis becomes prolonged and spreads to more countries, it may strike Norwegian jobs in the export industry, Johnsen said to VG.
Johnsen and Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church, Rigmor Assrud, asks for moderation in the coming state salary negotiations.
- We have to avoid that the salary increase is stronger than in other countries and thereby weakens Norway’s competitiveness, Aasrud says.
