Executive Board’s assessment
Norway has an efficient and secure payment system. At the same time, the threat landscape has worsened over time, and scenarios must be considered where even well-protected systems could become unavailable. If Norway’s financial infrastructure is to remain efficient and secure, it must be developed further.

An efficient payment system
Section 1
The Norwegian financial infrastructure is efficient and stable. Payments can be made swiftly and safely at low economic cost. Recently, important milestones have been reached in the further development of the infrastructure.
A secure payment system
Section 2
The financial infrastructure is robust and meets strict security, testing and continuity solution requirements. Nevertheless, there will always be vulnerabilities, and over time the threat landscape has become more aggressive. Contingency arrangements must therefore be further strengthened.
