Norway’s Central Bank Speeds Up Move to Publish Rate Minutes

Norway’s central bank will boost transparency of its monetary policy decisions from next week, expediting the plan after a year of close scrutiny into the credibility of its communications.

The central bank in Oslo will begin publishing a summary of the discussions that take place at its rate-setting meetings starting with the March 26 announcement, it said in a statement Friday. The summary will be made public at the same time as the rate decision.
