Norwegian term or phrase: bundne utgifter
De offentlige finanser ordnes etter en flerårig finansplan med streng økonomi og minst mulig trykk på arbeidslivet. Samskatt innføres, og skattene bringes etter hvert ned på et rimelig nivå, ens for hele riket. Bundne utgifter løses.

Fixed costs
Explanation:
Er det en grunn til at 'fixed costs' ikke kan brukes her?

In economics, fixed costs are business expenses that are not dependent on the level of goods or services produced by the business. They tend to be time-related, such as salaries or rents being paid per month, and are often referred to as overhead costs. This is in contrast to variable costs, which are volume-related (and are paid per quantity produced). Investments in facilities, equipment, and the basic organization that can't be significantly reduced in a short period of time are referred to as committed fixed costs.
