Key Quotes
“In line with Bloomberg consensus, we expect no policy rate changes from Norges Bank at the 21 June monetary policy meeting. Lower global rates and lower-than-expected inflation will lead to a negative revision to the rate path as these factors more than counter the positive impact from higher oil prices and a weak NOK”.
“Meanwhile, we think Norges Bank will stick to its signal of a September rate hike as its ‘judgement factor’ could be used as a positive contributive factor for the path amid high household debt levels and a stronger-than-expected rebound in house prices”.
“We expect Norges Bank to hike rates in September this year as well as in March and September 2019”.
