Statement Inline With Exp, Points to Rate Hike in H2

NORGES BANK
Key points from the statement:
  • Economic developments have been largely in line with the projections in the March Report.
  • In the Committee's current assessment of the outlook and balance of risks, the policy rate will most likely be raised in the latter half of 2021
  • When there are clear signs that economic conditions are normalising, it will again be appropriate to raise the policy rate gradually from the today's level.
