The Monetary Policy Report assesses the interest rate outlook and includes projections for developments in the Norwegian economy, a discussion of specific topics and a summary of Norges Bank's regional network reports.
The main features of the analysis in the Monetary Policy Report are presented to the Executive Board for discussion at a meeting about two weeks before the report is published. Themes of relevance to the report have been discussed at a previous meeting. On the basis of the analysis and discussion, the Executive Board assesses the consequences for future interest rate developments and adopts a monetary policy strategy, including alternative strategies. The decision to adopt a monetary policy strategy is made on the same day as the report is published. The strategy applies for the period up to the next report and is presented in the Monetary Policy Report.
The report is published three times a year, normally in March, June and October/November.
The dates for future Reports are available on Norges Bank's website under "Calendar". The report is presented at a press conference and is available on the website at 2 pm, when the Bank's interest rate decision is announced.
