This book presents historical data on a (small) number of macroeconomic variables relevant to monetary policy analysis for the period 1819-2003. The motivation of the project is to enhance our understanding of the long lines of developments in two areas of utmost importance to central banks - those of fostering price stability and financial stability. Norges Bank aims at stabilizing consumer price inflation at 2.5 per cent within a flexible inflation targeting regime. The promotion of financial stability aims at analyzing and identifying factors that foster sound financial developments through the monitoring of economic developments in the household sector and the corporate sector as well as for banks and other financial intermediaries.
