OSLO, Aug 12 (Reuters) – The Norwegian economy is showing signs of a more rapid recovery than envisaged and households should not plan for interest rates to stay at ‘very low’ levels when buying new homes, the finance minister said on Wednesday.
“There are signs that the rebound could come earlier also in Norway than we had previously anticipated,” Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen said in a statement.
