– If things go as we now believe, the key interest rate will remain at 4.5 per cent for the rest of the year, before it is gradually lowered, says Central Bank Governor Ida Wolden Bache. Most economists also expected that in advance. Norges Bank’s aim is to bring the annual price increase down to around 2 per cent over time. In recent years, it has been much higher, partly because the krone has become weaker. Therefore, Norges Bank has raised the interest rate 14 times since autumn 2021 – the last time in December last year. Published 20.06.2024, at 10.00 Updated 20.06.2024, at 10.01
