Norway Central Bank Seen Delaying Next Rate Cut to Third Quarter

Norges Bank will probably extend its interest-rate cuts in the third quarter and end monetary easing at the start of 2027, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

That’s later than the second quarter shown in the prior survey for a 25 basis-point reduction to the key deposit rate, now at 4%. Even so, analysts still see the terminal rate at 3.5%, after another cut they now project for the first quarter of next year.
