Decision

cut — 4.25% to 4.00%

Key passages

Norges Bank’s Monetary Policy and Financial Stability Committee decided to reduce the policy rate to 4 percent.

Rate cut signals loosening, but market expected this.

Incoming data since June indicate that there is a little less spare capacity in the economy, and that inflation may remain elevated for a little longer than projected in June. Therefore, we will probably not reduce the policy rate ahead as quickly as envisaged before summer.

Slower pace of easing than prior guidance; delays expected cuts.
