The Norwegian krone continues to show relative strength on the currency markets, maintaining favorable levels compared to the rest of 2025. The latest rates show that one US dollar costs 9.95 NOK. The euro is trading at 11.61 NOK. Meanwhile, for one Polish zloty, you will get an average of 2.73 NOK.
Weekly fluctuations of the listed currency pairs remain within 0.80 percent. On a monthly basis, they range from 0.85 to 1.54 percent.
Is the NOK Exchange Rate at Risk?
Despite a solid start to October, there are several risk factors that could put pressure on the NOK exchange rate. Fluctuations in oil prices, which are a key source of Norway's income, may lead to sharp movements in the Norwegian krone. Additionally, global geopolitical tensions and a possible economic slowdown in the eurozone could disrupt the current market balance.
Although the krone has been relatively strong in recent weeks, historically its rates remain lower than a decade ago and over three- and five-year periods. In the long term, the NOK has lost value against major currencies.

Negative exchange rate changes result from cycles of falling commodity prices and differences in the monetary policies of the largest economies. Norway is also increasingly feeling global problems. The most important recently have been the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
