Norway is observing the funeral of the late King Harald V today, with Oslo's city center closed off as the first guests, including the Swedish Royal Family and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, arrive for the ceremony. Public interest is high, with long queues forming to witness the royal procession.
A point of discussion has emerged regarding the noticeably lower level of US representation at King Harald V's funeral compared to previous royal funerals. Meanwhile, the nation's economy sees mixed signals, with the Oslo Stock Exchange opening higher despite a fall in Autostore's value, and expectations of higher interest rates soon. Bankruptcy proceedings have also begun for Cms Bygg og Anlegg.
