Change in routines for the publication of Norges Bank's interest rate decision

From now on, the press release about the interest rate decision of Norges Bank's Executive Board, which will be published at 2.00 pm today, will provide an account of the background for the interest rate decision. The account will replace the "Introduction to the press conference", which has previously been published at 2.45 pm. Deputy Governor Jarle Bergo will hold the press conference about the Inflation Report and the interest rate decision at 2.45 pm. The press conference will be webcast live on the Bank's website.

The charts reviewed during the Executive Board's monetary policy meeting and at the press conference in connection with the Inflation Report and the interest rate decision will be published on the Bank's website at 2 pm.

A more extensive package of charts will, as previously, be published on Norges Bank's website at 2 pm on the day following the monetary policy meeting, together with reports from Norges Bank's regional network.
