Being curious about who the potential candidates for the 2023 Economics Nobel might be, I've discovered that candidates' status is kept private for fifty years:

The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about the nominations, whether publicly or privately, for 50 years. The restriction concerns the nominees and nominators, as well as investigations and opinions related to the award of a prize.

Though that now makes me curious about who the candidates were from 1969 (when the econ award was inaugurated) to 1973. Though '74 would be the more interesting one. That's still a year off.

The Nobel Nomination Archive does not appear to list Economics nominees:

I've made an inquiry to the Nobel Prize committee and will share responses, if any.

And for those who say the Economics prize is not in fact a true Nobel Prize: Yes, you're right.

Quoting the Nobel Foundation itself:

The prize in economic sciences is not a Nobel Prize. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) instituted “The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel”, and it has since been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences according to the same principles as for the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded since 1901. The first prize in economic sciencess was awarded to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.
