Executive Summary:
- Main Policy Rate raised by 25bps to 0.75%, alongside expectations
- Bank name checked June, giving greenlight to hike at every quarterly forecast meeting
- Governor Bache stresses Bank could hike 50bps, but curve leaves little chance
Full piece here:
The Norges Bank stuck to their guidance and raised rates by 25bps to 0.75% in March. The bank also name-checked the June meeting as the next most opportune time to tighten policy and signaled a further three hikes this year, bringing end-2022 rates to 1.50%. The 2023 rate path was modestly more hawkish than forecast, with policy now seen rising well north of neutral, to 2.50% by end-2023. This reinforces expectations that the Bank will follow through with a rate hike at each policy report meeting (March, June, September, December) across both 2022 and 2023.
