BRITAIN’S ECONOMY CAME CLOSE TO STAGNATING in February amid Brexit nerves and “sluggish” global growth. Earlier this month, the ECB
offered banks a new round of cheap loans to help revive the Eurozone economy. Norway’s central bank is
expected to raise its key rate
on March 21 and will continue to tighten later this year due to
rising inflation and solid growth.
Norway’s
2018 Q4 growth
exceeded expectations and
higher demand in crude oil prices point to
a justification
for tighter policy. The UK 10-year Gilt declined one basis point.

of an actual

but less than
5 percent,” mentioned
Tim Graf,
